Changes (by duncan):

  * milestone:  => Cabal-1.8

Comment:

 This would mean that the lib would always have to be built statically even
 if the user requests dynamic libs.

 So this feature mainly depends on the ability to use `build-depends:` on a
 lib defined within the same package (whether that lib is to be installed
 or not). Similarly for build-tools.

 This would also solve ticket #89.
