installing a Cabal package non-exposed

[S. Alexander Jacobson]

Personally, I find the whole notion of "installing" libraries 
problematic.  In particular, unless the process of building the 
libraries is particularly user-directed, local library copies are 
really de facto caches.

And since different application need different library namespaces it 
seems weird to have a global cache.

Searchpath allows you easily to give each application its own 
namespace and automates import chasing accross the internet.  It is a 
work in progress and is definitely less refined than cabal, but if you 
are having this sort of issue you might want to try it out.  See 
http://searchpath.org

Have you tried using searchpath for this sort of thing?
