Comment:

 Turns out all existing .cabal files are fine, none use `,` as a separator
 in any of the fields `cpp-options`, `cc-options` or `ld-options`. We can
 assume that configure scripts that write `.buildinfo` files do not use it
 as a separator since they're written by shell scripts which use space as a
 token separator and also because they're likely getting these options from
 some tool which would generate them in a format suitable to pass direct to
 gcc.

   * Do not use ',' as a list separator for the cpp/cc/ld-options fields
   It breaks for some options like "ld-options: -Wl,-z,now"
   No existing .cabal files on hackage were using ',' as a
   list separator so this should not break anything.
