Next version of cabal will have a bindist command

[rehno-lindeque]

This is long-term issue (perhaps there should be a cabal 1.22 milestone?)

The next version of cabal haskell/cabal#1801 will have a cabal bindist command to strip executables and package them up with data files. RAM is a bit scarce on heroku, so stripping would probably be a good thing.

Added the milestone. Is this issue part of #2?

Oh, perhaps closely related yes, but it'll have to wait for the next cabal release anyway. Perhaps it will be less work to prune once bindist is available. I suppose that in theory the slug only needs to contain the binaries/data but you might want to retain the ability to use heroku run "cabal repl" etc.
