Hi Eric (and all),

I've finally got round to looking at this again...

I've just taken this and put it into its own project on github:

http://github.com/gimbo/osxSetup.hs

What I've done so far is turn Setup.hs into Distribution/MacOSX.hs,  
and I'm about to start trying to work out how it would be called from  
a (simpler) Setup.hs, possibly in a nicely cross-platform manner.   
That probably means I need to join the cabal-devel list.

If you've any suggestions, let me know.  I'll keep you informed as to  
progress.

Cheers!
