VS is using them, I recently updated our VS code to match the current
Cabal.

I'm not too worried about the names of fields right now, since I think
things will have to change in the future anyway when we sort out the
relationship between libraries & executables.

Change buildInfo to exeBuildInfo if you like, and maybe modulePath to
exeMainPath?
