 Replying to [comment:13 duncan]:
 > The file name does not need to be Main.hs, it can be any name.hs that
 you like.
 Correct.

 > The reason we do not support `-main-is` is because it is a ghc-specific
 extension that does not work for other Haskell implementations.
 You already said that. I explained why this is a moot point. So actually
 this can be replaced with "". :)

 > Your example is easy to deal with. If you want one module with two
 targets, define both targets in one module, then have two other 2-line .hs
 files to be the main modules, e.g.:

 Aand that’s ''exactly'' what I meant with the pointless “mess”. :)

 Ok, I’ll simply not use cabal, and be done with it. It’s not even worth
 forking it, since Portage already does everything I don’t want to do
 myself.

 I know, I don’t pay money and don’t have a contract, so I can not make and
 demands anyway. But: FAIL.
