Templatize cabal files

[rlaemmel]

I have identified the following conceptual template for the .cabal file of ours.

 name: <name>
 version: 0.1.0.0
 build-type: Simple
 cabal-version: >=1.9.2

 library
   exposed-modules:
     <modules>
   build-depends: base >= 4.4 && < 5.0, <depends-long>
   hs-source-dirs: src

 test-suite basic-tests
     main-is: Main.hs
     build-depends: base, HUnit, <depends-short>
     hs-source-dirs: src
     type: exitcode-stdio-1.0

Can we please pick some mainstream template technology and generate a bunch of .cabal files from appropriate configs and this template (once migrated to the respective template tech)?

The template generator would be hosted in tools/mk-cabal-101haskell or alike.
Let's chat over Skype how to do all of this.
