Comment:
What need to happen is for the configure flags to be serialised and stored
in a file under `dist/setup`. Then when the `.cabal` file changes we
should just re-configure using the same set of flags as before.
This is not terribly difficult. There is already a framework for
serialising sets of flags in either command line or config file style.
