Reporter:  dons    |       Owner:                     
    Type:  defect  |      Status:  new                
Priority:  major   |   Milestone:  Release 2: 2009.1.0
 Version:          |    Keywords:                     
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
 The platform specifies developer tools that should be installed on the
 system:

  * haddock
  * happy
  * alex

 etc. Currently, there is no way to specify this in the platform .cabal
 file (thus the .cabal file is not a complete description of the
 requirements).

 We need to find a way to have:

  * cabal-install install such tools
  * 'register' them in some way
