[Haskell-cafe] Hdevtools cabal support

[AlanKim Zimmerman]

What I am doing in HaRe (as a trial at this stage) is to load the module
graph for each cabal target in turn, and take the union of all non-Main
modules. This will work for a large proportion of cabal files.

Where something special is going on in terms of e.g. flags pulling on one
of two mutually exclusive files with the same name, a different approach
will be needed, probably by specifying how to break the tie in a config
section for the tool.

But I agree that a separate tool could be useful for this, I am pretty sure
BuildWrapper is wrestling with the same problem.
