I agree.  There was a time when cabal did something somewhat sensible
for nhc packages, but those packages had to have a main somewhere...
We're definitely awaiting an nhc98 expert.  I think much of it should
be just like the GHC code.  Hugs is a lot different, but Ross hacked
away at that so it's quite solid :)

I have seen a version of HaXmL which compiles the library for GHC
nicely with cabal's simple build system.  Haven't checked to see if
that's the same as the one in the build tree.  Unfortunitely, people
seem to be occasionally cabal-izing things and not sending them
upstream... hopefully Hackage will help with that.

peace,
