+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+  Since cabal files only allow for posix style file paths
+  we need to be careful to use the correct path separators
+  whenever we work with file paths in cabal files.
+
+  Thus we are using two different kinds of imports.
+  We use "FP" for platform-compatible file paths with which
+  we can query files independently of the platform.
+  We use "Posix" for the posix syntax paths which need to
+  be used for file path completions to be written to the cabal file.
