Using Cabal for a simple wrapper library

[Einar Karttunen]

Hello

I am trying to use Cabal for a small library that essentially just
wraps a C library. There seems to be no (documented) way of linking 
the produced library with an external library.

Basically I have libfoo.so and libfoo.a, and would need the cabalized
package to link to either of them. I am trying to use Distribution.Simple 
and my Setup.description looks like:

-- -fglasgow-exts is needed for data without a constructor
-- -#include is a hack
-- -cpp needs a better way of saying it
-- And how should the library be linked really?
Options-ghc: -cpp -fglasgow-exts -O2 -#include <depot.h>
