Description
(Imported from [Trac #608](http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/608), reported by guest on 2009-11-15)
Files that are only used by cabal setup are not recompiled when they change between runs of 'cabal build'.
Reproduction steps for the included cabal package:
- Run 'cabal configure && cabal build && cabal test'
- The test output should be "I helped with lots of stuff!"
- Change the string in Distribution/Helper.hs to "I didn't help with "
- Rerun 'cabal configure && cabal build && cabal test' -- the output should change to "I didn't help with lots of stuff!", but nothing recompiles and the output doesn't change.
