31,Automatically bring cabal packages forward with Platform install?,jgbailey@…,dons,"Before installing the Haskell Platform, I had several versions of GHC installed, each with their own associated libraries. That was more by accident than on purpose, as I had not uninistalled older version of GHC.

Regardless, when I installed the platform, I had to install all those cabal packages again. That might get annoying if each new release of the Haskell platform requires me to rebuild my environment. 

Note that I am talking about cabal packages that do NOT come with the Platform. I recognize Platform-included packages will be upgraded automatically by each install.

Note that I installed on Windows XP, but I don't think this is a OS-specific issue.",enhancement,new,major,Blue Sky,Platform,,,the.dead.shall.rise@…
