 If I understand correctly, Cabal 1.8 introduced a feature that lets our
 executable depend on a library from the same package (is this #89?).

 We would very much like to use this for Darcs as this would speed up our
 build times dramatically, but it seems that the cabal-install tool does
 not know how to deal with this it yet.  This means we can do "runghc Setup
 configure" but not "cabal configure"

 Here is the patch that uses this for darcs: http://bugs.darcs.net/patch147

 PS. I think this tracker may need to be updated with new versions
 (currently stops at 1.6)
