Perhaps I should add that the project isn't haskell-only and already
has some conventions in place such as using lower case for directories
etc. Thus I prefer not to change these. Compilation worked with the
current directory structure using a makefile but I can't duplicate the
feat with cabal. Is there a work-around perhaps?

Also, the 'executable' part and 'cabal configure' is correct, yes :)
