[Haskell-cafe] Using Cabal during development

[Limestraël]

Okay, I juste solved issue (1) :

The package compiled through Cabal has its information stored in the
dist/package.conf.inplace file.
I can then compile my main by doing :
ghc --make -package-conf dist/package.conf.inplace main.hs
I just don't know if it's really the way I'm supposed to do this.

Nevertheless, issue (2) remains...
