If you want a package that multiplexes the editline package or the readline package depending on avaliability, that would be easy to do. It would just require wraping up the #ifdef stuff needed into a single place. I can probably find a few minutes this afternoon/evening to do this.
Yes, that's exactly what I want, although a third module name is needed.
Ok. Here we go. http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/Shellac-compatlin...
How do you set up the cabal file for such a package?
Cabal configuration flags can do this sort of thing.
The license entry could simply mention the possible readline dependency.
Cheers Christian
(Maybe that's useful for other packages, too, that can be realized via readline or editline, or even for the common bits of the readline and editline packages, since it's not the module System.Console.Editline.Readline ifself)
