#804: support remote .cabal files in cabal info

---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Currently, `cabal info` supports local .cabal files and remote tarballs,
but not remote .cabal files.
The [http://hackage.haskell.org/package/lscabal lscabal] program supports
remote .cabal file target like:
{{{
$ lscabal http://code.haskell.org/xmonad/xmonad.cabal
XMonad
XMonad.Main
}}}
Is this useful?
Presumably it would also need a more general query language to pull out
the fields that the user is interested in.
Note that `lscabal` only lists exposed modules and only unconditional ones
(e.g. not ones that are platform dependent).
