Cabal `init project` command?

[gbaz]

Should we generate a skeleton project file like we do a skeleton config file? cabal init project? cabal project-init?

[hvr]

Here's a couple of questions OTTOMH which may or may not help figure out a design:

• How would that skeleton look like? What arguments/flags should cabal init --project have?
• Which heuristics would it implement?
• Would it, like cabal init, ask the user a series of questions?
• Would it make sense to include this functionality simply as part of cabal init ("Do you want to create a cabal.project file?")?
• Would this overlap with cabal new-configure which can generate a cabal.project.local file which has the same syntax as a cabal.project file?

[23Skidoo]

Making this part of cabal init is IMO the right way.

Considering this now, and based on more recent discussions.. I think that cabal configure is really the approach here.
