The Cabal in GHC 6.4 supports source files in a single directory only
(although you can use hierarchical module names).  To put your source
files in a subdirectory, add the field

  hs-source-dir: subdir

to your .cabal file.

The current version of Cabal allows multiple source directories, so you
can say

  hs-source-dirs: "." subdir
