I think the Distribution.PreProcess.Unlit module was taken from an early
version of cpphs. One possibility would be to update to the latest cpphs
unlit code, but for that of course we'd need your permission as the
copyright licenses are different.

Is there anyway to identify the cpphs version from running it? I don't
see any --version flag or similar. I'm wondering how cabal is going to
be able to identify if the user has a sufficiently recent version.
