Adding the attachment from issue2345 as a patch in the tracker.
I'm going to screen this now and then mark it as reviewed once
people have had a chance to try it out a bit. It seems like
the right fix even if overriding the postConf hook may prove
dangerous in future.

* resolve issue2345: solution using cabal's checkForeignDeps
Usually, Cabal performs the external dependencies check after the
configuration phase, in the `postConf` hook. This patch moves this
check into the configure section.
