Hi John.

Should jhc support Cabal? Or should use only yaml?

Some Haskell packages are needed poring to jhc/Ajhc for my usage.
I think jhc support yaml format to compile Haskell libraries.

But Cabal source code has signs that tried to support jhc.

$ git clone git://github.com/haskell/cabal.git
$ cd cabal
$ git grep -i jhc | wc -l
69

Is it good idea that support Cabal with jhc/Ajhc?
Should jhc use only yaml?

I would like to follow upstream's concept.

Best regards,
