Proposals:
1) New field extra-tmp-files, a list of extra files to be removed by
setup clean, beyond those that can be deduced.
2) Rename other-files as extra-source-files for consistency and clarity.
3) New field data-files, a list of files to be copied to a place where
an executable can find them (e.g. template-hsc.h for hsc2hs):
Hugs: the directory containing the Main module
GHC/Windows: the directory containing the executable
GHC/Unix: /usr/local/share/<exename>
plus a new function in System.Directory to return the name of this
directory. That would address Dimitry's requirements in

Dimitry has a more elaborate proposal:
