It probably is automated.  There's a tool out there called  
"cabal2arch", which turns a cabal file into a PKGBUILD file.  They are  
similar enough that translation can be done automatically, assuming  
there aren't any special needs.  (For example, I doubt the gtk2  
haskell package would work with cabal2arch)
