 Files that are only used by cabal setup are not recompiled when they
 change between runs of 'cabal build'.

 Reproduction steps for the included cabal package:
  - Run 'cabal configure && cabal build && cabal test'
  - The test output should be "I helped with lots of stuff!"
  - Change the string in Distribution/Helper.hs to "I didn't help with "
  - Rerun 'cabal configure && cabal build && cabal test' -- the output
 should change to "I didn't help with lots of stuff!", but nothing
 recompiles and the output doesn't change.

 Although the attached cabal package is minimal, I've observed this
 behavior with darcs's Distribution/ShellHarness.
