I see what you mean, but the cabal project file is currently underlying
the building and metadata part of Leksah. So I would prefer to work in
the direction to make the construction of the .cabal file as simple as
possible. And the same for a trivial workspace with just one package.

Help is very welcome, but I'm not the one who can help with Mac issues.
