Description

Uses the parsed command-line from Distribution.Setup in order to build Haskell tools using a backend build system based on make. Obviously we assume that there is a configure script, and that after the ConfigCmd has been run, there is a Makefile. Further assumptions:

ConfigCmd
We assume the configure script accepts --with-hc, --with-hc-pkg, --prefix, --bindir, --libdir, --libexecdir, --datadir.
BuildCmd
We assume that the default Makefile target will build everything.
InstallCmd
We assume there is an install target. Note that we assume that this does *not* register the package!
CopyCmd
We assume there is a copy target, and a variable $(destdir). The copy target should probably just invoke make install recursively (e.g. $(MAKE) install prefix=$(destdir)/$(prefix) bindir=$(destdir)/$(bindir). The reason we can't invoke make install directly here is that we don't know the value of $(prefix).
SDistCmd
We assume there is a dist target.
RegisterCmd
We assume there is a register target and a variable $(user).
UnregisterCmd
We assume there is an unregister target.
HaddockCmd
We assume there is a docs or doc target.

data License
This datatype indicates the license under which your package is released. It is also wise to add your license to each source file using the license-file field. The AllRightsReserved constructor is not actually a license, but states that you are not giving anyone else a license to use or distribute your work. The comments below are general guidelines. Please read the licenses themselves and consult a lawyer if you are unsure of your rights to release the software.
Constructors
GPLGNU Public License. Source code must accompany alterations.
LGPLLesser GPL, Less restrictive than GPL, useful for libraries.
BSD33-clause BSD license, newer, no advertising clause. Very free license.
BSD44-clause BSD license, older, with advertising clause.
PublicDomainHolder makes no claim to ownership, least restrictive license.
AllRightsReservedNo rights are granted to others. Undistributable. Most restrictive.
OtherLicenseSome other license.
UnknownLicense StringNot a recognised license. Allows us to deal with future extensions more gracefully.
