Comment(by ttuegel):

 The patches I just attached apply against Cabal HEAD and enable the
 following features:

 * {{{setup configure --enable-library-coverage}}}, which build the library
 and test suites with {{{-fhpc}}} and an appropriate {{{-hpcdir}}}

 * When using {{{--enable-library-coverage}}}, {{{setup test collects}}}
 any {{{.tix}}} files generated by HPC and calls {{{hpc markup}}} to
 generate an HTML report for each test suite

 * {{{setup test --keep-tix-files}}}, which instructs setup test to
 preserve {{{.tix}}} files between test suite runs and generate aggregate
 statistics. The default is to remove old {{{.tix}}} files at the start of
 each test run.

 * Fixes the Cabal test suite to generate proper coverage reports when
 using {{{--enable-library-coverage}}}.
