I think cabal-install is a pretty standard util for people to have,
and it ships with the Haskell platform now. So the big hurdle is
documentation.
Andrew - where does it state that "Setup sdist" is the recommended way
of doing this? If it's a wiki you could go and edit it yourself.
Start from the Hackage homepage:
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/hackage.html
Click on "how to create a Haskell package", takes you to
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/How_to_write_a_Haskell_program
Section 2.10.1.1 shows you how to create a tarball - using setup sdist
rather than cabal sdist. Indeed, I don't think cabal-install is
mentioned anywhere.
If people seriously want this to become the preferred way to do things,
it needs to be much more prominently documented.
