Comment:

 The hooks needs replacing. I don't particularly plan to change anything
 before then.

 Adding important code to `postConf` is a bit dodgy since old `Setup.hs`
 scripts do not know that if they override it they have to call the old
 one. While I admit that I've recently added code to `postConf` so it's no
 longer `return ()`, that is only checking code, so it's no great loss if
 it is not run. It doesn't break anything.
