all cabalized libraries are installed using the same commands:

runghc setup.hs configure
runghc setup.hs build
runghc setup.hs install

after this, you just "import" modules you need in your program and
when you build your program, ghc automatically links in all the
library functions you used

the problem exists and for me, it's most important Haskell
insfrastructure problem. but things you are mentioned are already
implemented

i personally implemented several libs required for my own program; and
still miss ease-to-use and maintained GUI library
