perhaps it would be better in both cases to just put in the package
description, augmented with any buildinfo generated by package
configuration.
Is there anything GHC-specific that would cause problems? Some fields can
simply be ignored for hugs. It'd be nice if we could get ghc, nhc and hugs
all using a collection of !InstalledPackageInfo values for the package
database.
In future Cabal will read back the whole !InstalledPackageInfo when
working with ghc so it can do module chasing. It'd be great if we could
include hugs in such a scheme too. Currently Cabal doesn't know anything
about the installed packages for hugs.
