Comment(by duncan):
The `cabal info` command will now work for the local package. Just run
`cabal info ./` or `cabal info blah.cabal` using the the local .cabal
filename.
Note that it does not give the description of the package flags, just
their name.

* 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.
