[Haskell-cafe] Additional functionality using cabal configure flags

[Sumit Sahrawat, Maths & Computing, IIT (BHU)]

Hi Konstantine, thanks for the reply

I decide to use flags, but then the trouble is that I will need some
mechanism to flag parts of the code, possibly using the CPP extension.
I wanted to know whether there is a better way. Also, does CPP allow
checking cabal configure flags? The user-guide did not mention such
usecases.
