Comment(by duncan):

 In my opinion, we should try to have libraries use the new cabal test
 interface (improving that if necessary) and the ghc testsuite can call
 that.

 We want the cabal test interface anyway since it gives a standard
 interface for all packages and will let us share continuous testing
 infrastructure across all packages (e.g. the HP).
