410	cabal sdist does not call the sdist build hook in custom Setup.hs	duncan		"The `cabal sdist` command only runs the default actions, it does not call the sdist hook that gets called if you `runghc Setup sdist`.

The problem is there is no external method for invoking the sdist hook. Calling `./setup sdist` performs the whole action, but we only want to prepare the tree and not tar it up, since `cabal sdist` uses internal tar code rather than calling an external tar program (which typically does not exist on windows)."	defect	new	normal	cabal-install-0.16	cabal-install tool	1.2.3.0	normal			claudiusmaximus@… hvr@… iain@…	normal	6.8.3
