Building individual programs

Dear all
I have a cabal package which defines in the cabal package several
programs to be built such as:
Executable: prog1
Main-is: examples/Prog1.hs
Ghc-options: -Wall
Executable: prog2
Main-is: examples/Prog2.hs
Ghc-options: -Wall
It's actually a library and the individual programs are a bunch of
examples. When I work on one of these individually it's mildly annoying that
runhaskell Setup.hs build
builds all of them. I'd quite like to be able to do something like:
runhaskell Setup.hs build prog1
or even just
runhaskell Setup.hs prog1
to build only the first example.
I know about the "Buildable" field in the cabal file, but I was kind of
hoping there was a way to do this such that the cabal file doesn't need
to be continually modified (and runhaskell Setup.hs configure --.....
re-run).
So is there a (standard) way to do this?
If not, I suppose the best way to do it would be in the Setup.hs file,
ie could do something like:
processArgs :: [ String ] -> IO ()
processArgs [ "prog1" ] = <Something to build prog1 with all the
configuration information>
processArgs _ = defaultMainWithHooks myHooks
if this is the best way, what should I have in the <Something .. > bit?
regards
allan
