Also a section like gentoo's make.conf (for ebuilds) where local options can be set in a file (for things like optimisation flags etc)...

I might be on my own here, but I happen to think that the way Gentoo encourages you to have local optimisation flag settings is complete madness. Probably the only good thing that can be said for it is that it's given the gcc developers a lot of good testing. I don't think we want to do this for Haskell, it introduces one more way for things to go wrong, and one more thing to forget in a bug report. Cheers, Simon
