[Haskell-cafe] Re: cabalizing "legacy' source

[Vasili I. Galchin]

BTW there is no "Test" directory and also no "CLI" directory .... I am
pretty familiar with cabal but not as much with "Unix" Makefile. Probably I
need to restructure source directory tree ... to have "library" source in
one subtree, tests in another CLI executables in a third BUT can I set up
cabal files to do recursive directory "visits" like Makefiles?
