I think the right way to solve this is to have Cabal generate a
package.conf file in dist/build for development whenever it
successfully builds a library.  If people want to link executables in
package with the library in the package, they need only to add

        -package-conf dist/build/package.conf -package PACKAGE

to their ghc-options property.  If they prefer the current behavior,
they leave the ghc-options property as it is.  With this scheme,
everybody gets what they want.
