cabal install --only

[Andres Löh]

Hi.

No, please do not remove it. Running install without --only causes all
sorts of things to happen, because install is the magic command. The --only
flag is for use after you have already run build and really only does the
installation, i.e. It behaves comparable to Setup install.

Cheers,
Andres
