Yeah, we will need this for proper support other preprocessors too. For
example .chs files can have dependencies on each other. Currently Cabal
totally ignores that. Perhaps we can pinch the .hs dep chasing code from
either GHC or hmake and make it extensible for other pre-processors. But
yes the license is important.
