I wonder if you have any suggestions for UI changes/improvements for
cabal-install for working with related sets of local packages

or variations etc?

Sure, you can add a command 'sort' that outputs the given packages in topologically sorted order. :-)

I missed something: The reason for the current upload was a new cabal-sort feature that emits the package dependencies as a Makefile in order to allow building packages in parallel using 'make -j'. Of course, a '--jobs' option would also be a nice addition to 'cabal install'.
