The new cabal sandboxing will work as follows: cabal sandbox --init cabal add-source <dir> and then you use cabal commands like normal (e.g. configure, build, test). No installing necessary. I cannot speak for the cabal-dev developers. We do intend to support a superset of the cabal-dev functionality eventually. What we're missing now is ghci support.
