    libraries/tools      HugsSetup.hs 
  Log:
  A prototype Cabal setup script for Hugs.  Much of this is adapted from
  Distribution.Simple, and hopefully some of it will migrate back.
  
  The configure step differs from Simple as follows:
  * extra --builddir option to specify where the build goes
  * configure runs ./configure if present, passing it any unrecognized options
  * then reads build parameters from Setup.buildinfo, if present
  * the build directory and build parameters are stashed in LocalBuildInfo
  * the --with-compiler option can be use to specify ffihugs
  
  User packages go in $HOME/hugs/packages/<pkg>
  (add {Home}/hugs/packages/* to your path)
  (don't know the equivalent of $HOME on Windows)
  
  Not yet implemented:
  * executables
  * installed package descriptions
  * source distributions
  * won't work on Windows, and assumes gcc
  * package versions (probably won't be supported for some time)
  
  Missing features compared with hugs-package:
  * doesn't use hugs/exclude
  * doesn't use *_hsc_make.c if present
  * can't handle system-dependent package dependencies (e.g. HGL)
