 cabal install SDL-gfx with macports has always failed for me, because that
 package's configure script doesn't know about the required extra lib dir
 /opt/local/lib. This made it work: LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib cabal install
 SDL-gfx . cabal-install should probably use this or some other method to
 tell configure scripts about extra lib and include dirs.
