[Haskell-cafe] Compiling non-registered packages into a sandbox?

[Erik Hesselink]

Doesn't a simple 'cabal install dep_pkg/' when in 'proj_dir' work?

Additionally, you can do 'cabal sandbox add-source dep_pkg/', which
will make it available to be installed as a dependency automatically
(and reinstall when it's changed).
