With defaultUserHooks it would also be useful to pass the stuff in
LocalBuildInfo to the configure script.  Moreover the contents of
<package>.buildinfo aren't really used until the later stages.
So really we want

	postConf :: Args -> ConfigFlags -> LocalBuildInfo -> IO ExitCode

and we don't need preConf or the postX where X /= Conf.  YAGNI, I say.
