-
-Cabal's little helper provides access to build information gathered by `cabal`
-when configuring a project. Specifically we're interested in retrieving enough
-information to bring up a compiler session, using the GHC API, which is similar
-to running `cabal repl` in a project.
-
-While simple in principle this is complicated by the fact that the information
-Cabal writes to disk is in an unstable format and only really accessible through
-the Cabal API itself.
-
-Since we do not want to bind the user of a development tool which utilises this
-library to a specific version of Cabal we compile the code which interfaces with
-the Cabal library's API on the user's machine, at runtime, against whichever
-version of Cabal was used to write the on disk information for a given project.
-
-If this version of Cabal is not available on the users machine anymore, which is
-fairly likely since cabal-install is usually linked statically, we have support
-for compiling the Cabal library also. In this case the library is installed into
-a private, isolated, package database in `$XDG_CACHE_HOME/cabal-helper` so as to
-not interfere with the user's package database.
