Comment(by simonmar):

 How would cabal test interact with the GHC testsuite infrastructure?  We
 have lots of parameters to pass in (compiler, flags, ways etc.), and
 information to get out again (the result of each test), and some
 infrastructure we might want to share (the test driver).

 I'm wondering whether a better approach might be to have both an `all.T`
 as well as the cabal test infrastructure (whatever that might be) for each
 package.
