This second patch has been committed to Cabal HEAD. Perhaps someone can test and confirm this as I've only tested one small example.

One actually needs to say: 

Executable: Foo
Main-is: Main.hs

and it'll look for any suitable file that can be pre-processed into Main.hs, like Main.hsc for example.
