Changes (by duncan):
* status: new => closed
* difficulty: hard (< 1 day) => very hard (<1 week)
* resolution: => fixed
* milestone: => cabal-install-0.10
Comment:
Added support for:
* local package directories
* local cabal files
* local tarballs
* remote tarballs
This applies to the install, fetch, info and unpack commands.
Not implemented is alternate targets for the `list` command, or remote
.cabal targets for the `info` command (opened as #804).

* Add a new module for handling user targets
This will allow us to increase the range of targets that cabal
commands can support. The new ones are local directory targets,
local cabal files, local tarballs and remote tarballs by URL.
Also a better way of doing the special "world" target.

* Partial rewrite of cabal list and info commands
The new user target system requires a change in how cabal info works.
Instead of just giving package names and looking them up in the
available package index, we can now specify names with versions or
version constraints which means we want the info to be about that
version in particular. We now list many installed and available
versions and mark which ones are preferred or not. Also fix a bug
for packages that are only installed, not available.

* New interface to the dep resolver that allows modular policy
construction
Allows shorter and clearer code for the various ways the resolver is
used.
Sun Feb 13 22:49:55 GMT 2011 Duncan Coutts <dun...@community.haskell.org>
* Use the new modular dep resolver interface in the various commands
Also minor tweak to InstallPlan.remove
