Description

To make the user experience a little smoother, it should be possible to just 'cabal-setup install' and get a default configure, build, and install sequence in one go. We already roll register into install anyway, this is just more of the same.

I'm not sure if cabal-install reduces the desire for this feature.

I've changed my mind. I think we should do this in Cabal and let cabal-install take advantage of it.

The easiest way to do it is probably to wait and do it in the make-like dependency framework that we're planning.
