Ok. To fix my own comment: the expanding of environment variables is not a problem. You can create as `script.sh` which reads environment and run ```sh cabal new-exec -w /some/local/ghc...

We should have proper design here, which may require changes to `.cabal` format. Maintainers should not put blunt `ghc-options: -O2` flags into their `.cabal` file. `regex-tdfa` is improved in [1.3.1.0](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/regex-tdfa-1.3.1.0/changelog),...

`c-sources` and `asm-sources` are passed to GHC, which handles them for us, that makes supporting these "easy". What one will do with `rc-sources` on non-Windows platforms? Is it immediate install-plan...

Are resource scripts completely windows specific, or could there in theory be a linux variant of it? The https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/6096 issue seems related, and RC is windows specific solution for that....

EDIT: above means, please go ahead with implementing `rc-sources`. Your explanations make sense to me. (One way to start is to write a test case in `cabal-testsuite`)

> cabal treats rc-sources like c-sources, asm-sources etc., and GHC learns to handle passed in RC files (GHC actually already knows how to call windres). Would be easiest to start...
