526	hugs-options aren't passed to ffihugs	guest		"Options in hugs-options aren't passed through to ffihugs, most
importantly -98 and +o are the ones we'd like to pass. For enabling
the +o flag Hugs-Sept06 does not honor:

 * pragma    {-# LANGUAGE !OverlappingInstances #-}
 * pragma    {-# OPTIONS_HUGS +o #-}
 * cabal     extensions: !OverlappingInstances

And the -98 flag has similar issues. Therefore this is a real
problem.

Immediate solution: The options set in hugs-options should be passed
to ffihugs as well. As of Cabal 1.6 they are not passed (verified
by Duncan Coutts). The two programs accept all the same options,
so this is valid.

Ideal solution: Based on the extensions field, Cabal should
automatically determine whether -98 and +o need to be enabled (for
both hugs and ffihugs).
