How to Iterate Over Modules in Cabal Package - haskell

Question

What's the best way to iterate over all the modules (files) in a given package? Concretely, suppose I have
an executable called "runThis"
a cabal package P with files F1.hs, F2.hs, ..., Fn.hs
Whats the easiest way to execute:
runThis F1.hs
runThis F2.hs
...
runThis Fn.hs
?
I thought I might try --with-compiler but that fails with
cabal: The program ghc version >=6.4 is required but the version of runThis
(The other option looks like tweaking the Setup.lhs -- but ideally I'd like to hijack the build process and use "runThis" instead of, say, ghc)
Thanks!

From Duncan Coutts' email:
Question: How to add the preprocessor? I have tried
main =
defaultMainWithHooks
simpleUserHooks{hookedPreProcessors=[("foo",transformation)]}
transformation :: BuildInfo -> LocalBuildInfo -> PreProcessor
That looks right. Here's how to complete it (example taken from the
Cabal haddock docs for the PreProcess module):
transformation _ _ =
PreProcessor {
platformIndependent = True,
runPreProcessor =
mkSimplePreProcessor $ \inFile outFile verbosity -> do
fail $ "transformation: " ++ inFile ++ " " ++ outFile
}
and it works fine:
runghc Setup.hs build
Preprocessing library foo-1.0...
Setup.hs: transformation: Abc.foo dist/build/Abc.hs
But under which circumstances will this function be called? Up to now
I have not succeeded in making cabal call this function.
It calls it when it goes and looks for the module Abc (ie Abc.hs
or .lhs), and since if does not find it, it'll check through the list of
preprocessors and go looking for the corresponding files, ie Abc.foo.
