 I tried:
 {{{
 cabal install mtl --enable-library-profiling
 }}}
 when I already had mtl installed, but didn't have the profiling libraries
 for installed. I got the message:
 {{{
 No packages to be installed. All the requested packages are already
 installed.
 If you want to reinstall anyway then use the --reinstall flag.
 }}}

 Re-running the same command with --reinstall did install the profiling
 libraries, but it also rebuilt the non-profiling version (which was
 already installed). It would be nice if "cabal install" was smart enough
 to just rebuild the profiling libraries if you try to install an already-
 installed library with the --enable-library-profiling flag.

 This is with cabal-install 0.6.2, library version 1.6.0.3.
