Comment (by kili):

 Additional notes: it would be really nice if Cabal would support some
 environment variables also supported by autoconf, like CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS,
 etc.

 And, if possible, it should try to use results from an embedded autoconf
 run instead of repeating the test already done by autoconf (maybe via some
 buildinfo tricks).
