With respect, the nhc98 compiler neither has nor uses an
InstalledPackageInfo for any package. If Cabal wants that information,
Cabal should (a) generate it, and (b) store it. I don't see the point
of duplicating all that machinery in nhc98, when we don't need it.
Cabal is the package manager, after all.
