Comment:

 What need to happen is for the configure flags to be serialised and stored
 in a file under `dist/setup`. Then when the `.cabal` file changes we
 should just re-configure using the same set of flags as before.

 This is not terribly difficult. There is already a framework for
 serialising sets of flags in either command line or config file style.
