Comment:
In addition, we can see the lack of checking for the existence of C libs
breaking test builds on hackage, and breaking cabal-install downloads.
pcre-light is a good example: no way to test pcre.h is available, without
resorting to autoconf.
One solution here might be to reuse/duplicate autoconf functionality to
check if extra-libraries are available?
