Description
(Imported from [Trac #817](http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/817), reported by @jeffwheeler on 2011-03-22)
An if/else block which sets the main-is value for an executable based on a flag is misparsed when running "cabal sdist" (it's parsed correctly when running "cabal install").
Upon failure, it appears that it's looking for a filename that is the two main-is options concatenated together. E.g., I get the error "cabal: `HackerMain?`.hsMain.hs doesn't exist".
The problematic bit looks like:
if flag(hacking)
main-is: `HackerMain?`.hs
else
main-is: Main.hs
My entire config can be found on hpaste: [http://hpaste.org/44939/yicabal](http://hpaste.org/44939/yicabal) (problematic lines around 268).
