I am not sure.  If Cabal is compiler/interpreter agnostic as it is 
supposed to be I thought, we can just use runhaskell to run it without 
having to worry about what runtime we are building for?  Or is that 
oversimplying?  Of course, sure, we still need build options for 
different compilers but the running of the build process should not 
depend heavily on it?

Maybe Bryan can clarify this point?
