[Haskell-cafe] Listing native package requirements based on cabal information

[Peter Simons]

Hi Alexander,

it's true that Cabal lacks a field specifically for such run-time
dependencies, but in the absence of such a stanza using "build-tools" is
a good workaround. The build process can then determine the complete
path of, say, lsof and bake it into the binary. It's a work-around,
though, abusing build-tools in this way is far from ideal.

Take care,
Peter
