Currently, cabal tries all possible flag assignments to fulfill the requirements on Haskell packages. For Gtk2Hs and probably other wrappers around C libraries it would be great to extend this functionality to pkg-config dependencies. They follow very similar convention when it comes to versioning but currently the users of my Setup.hs script need to specify the right flag combination to make configuring succeed.

Yes indeed. We want to extend this to several kinds of external dependencies, see ticket #342.
