New issue 16 by wol...@gm...: Cabal build uses ugly hacks
http://code.google.com/p/hoc/issues/detail?id=16

The cabal build currently uses ugly hacks to work around limitations of  
Cabal.
See also issue #12.

The Objective-C source is built by code in Setup.hs; the resulting  
HOC_cbits.o
file is then passed to Cabal as a "C source file". Cabal attempts  
to "compile"
this .o file by passing it to GHC; a separate hack prevents this.
Finally, HOC_cbits.o is added to all GHC command lines for compiling Haskell
code, so that GHC can load the Template Haskell compile time code.
