Does it work if you create a sandbox in each of the directories A, B, C,
and D?

My thinking is that if you are adding the directories A, B, and C using
"cabal sandbox add-source" then they should be able to be built
independently. And of course you'd have to run

cabal sandbox add-source /path/to/project/A   # in directory B
cabal sandbox add-source /path/to/project/A   # in directory C
cabal sandbox add-source /path/to/project/B   # in directory D
cabal sandbox add-source /path/to/project/C   # in directory D

to get the dependencies.

I've tried this out with a test project and it seems to work ok. Also
"cabal repl" works in each of the subdirectories.
