245	Cabal should support hsc2hs's stub .c feature	guest		"The Pugs project recently uncovered a bit of a problem with GHC 6.8.x.

To quote:

- {-# INCLUDE -} seems to require either a very relative or an absolute path. That is, you have to make the path listed inside an INCLUDE ('dist/build/Pugs/Embed/Parrot_hsc.h') in the file dist/build/Pugs/Embed/Parrot.hs absolute or completely relative - that is, the first line needs to look like either '{-# INCLUDE ""Parrot_hsc.h"" #-}' or  '{-# INCLUDE
  ""/home/gwern/bin/pugs/dist/build/Pugs/Embed/Parrot_hsc.h"" #-}'.

The particular problem is that  'dist/build/Pugs/Embed/Parrot_hsc.c:#include ""Parrot_hsc.h""' is being translated to the (broken) 'dist/build/Pugs/Embed/Parrot.hs:{-# INCLUDE ""dist/build/Pugs/Embed/Parrot_hsc.h"" #-}'. 

The relevant files and notes can be found in the Pugs SVN repo, in src/Pugs/Embed/, and the files of interest are Haskell.hs  Parrot.hsc  Parrot_hsc.c  Parrot_hsc.h  Perl5.hs  Pugs.hs
