[Haskell-cafe] hackage and cabal test support: why does it claim I have no type field when I do?

Actually, it seems to be more related to http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/811 since if I remove the conditional elements within the test stanzas it looks like hackage is happy again.

Aha, I'd missed that; thanks - I'll try the fix after going pumpkin hunting with the kids!

Maybe the issue is that the test modules are missing from the
distribution file, which is a known bug.
