59* Allow patching the cabal file before processing it. This is required

14+ Better approach 1: Allow flag settings to be specified via cabal2nix

17+ Better approach 2: Allow flag choices in the generated Nix expressions.
18+ Default values in Cabal translate to default values in Nix.
19+ Then when generating the composition file, select flag choices that
20+ are appropriate.

1022* What is Integer-gmp, and is it required? Figure out what's going on in
1123 'double-conversion'.

25+ No, integer-gmp and ghc are core packages missing from the core list.
26+ double-conversion needs a text version more recent than the current
27+ platform. I wouldn't support it for now.

1329* The ':' at the expression argument list shouldn't be separated with a
1430 blank.

32+ According to my coding style, it should. Colon is a binary operator.
33+ Binary operators should *always* be *surrounded* by spaces.

1837* Hipmunk has some weird 'm' library as input.

39+ Well, that'd be -libm. Should be added to the library translation list.
40+ libm is probably in stdenv. So the type of library translation should
41+ probably become String -> [String] ...

3460* applications/editors/leksah/default.nix generates an infinite

64+ We should remove a self-dependency of a library. A package providing
