---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 The [http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/HackageTesting hackage
 testing tool] needs a "cabal build-dep" command to work.

 I had an inadequate patch that was good enough for my experiments
 (http://osdir.com/ml/cabal-devel@haskell.org/2010-01/msg00029.html), but
 lack the familiarity with the cabal-install design necessary to implement
 it properly. Sadly, the patch no longer applies to cabal-install HEAD, and
 regardless, it would make things a lot easier if it Just Worked out of the
 box.
