I think I can implement this inside Cabal in the conversion from
GenericPackageDescription to PackageDescription, as if it were
implemented all in terms of conditionals.  So, if tests are enabled,
the test executables are in the PackageDescription and their
dependencies get pulled in; if tests are disabled, the executables get
cut from the PackageDescription.  Am I missing something?
