How to track this error down?
When not using cabal adding OldNew.hs to the include path everything is
fine

--- command run ------
$ rm -fr dist; cWC; cat MW/OldNew.hs; ghc --show-iface dist/build/MW/OldNew.hi;
	cd testapp/; cat test.hs; ghc -package mwutil --make test.hs' &> /tmp/f

cWC does ./setup configure, build, install
notice the cd testapp to ensure OldNew.hs is not in include path.
