sdist puts Happy-generated .hs files in the wrong place

Description

I want to use sdist to generate source distributions of Happy that don't depend on Happy, and hence come with the Happy-generated .hs files for the parsers. When I try this, the source files are included, but in the root of the tree, whereas Cabal seems to look for them in dist/build. I can move them by hand and re-generate the tarball, and that works.

I'm fairly sure this worked with older versions of Cabal.

  * FIX #166 by setting the right buildDir when preprocessing in sdist

This fixes the immediate problem. The rest of the problem is that tarballs that have pre-generated files in dist/ will get cleaned. They should really go in another dir that is checked but not cleaned. I'll open a separate bug on that issue.
