Changes (by kosmikus):
* milestone: cabal-install-0.14 => cabal-install-0.16
Comment:
The following works now:
* Constraints and preferences can be added to the global config file.
* Each `constraint:` or `preference:` line can specify only a single
constraint, but several such lines can occur.
* Config file constraints will be handled like command-line constraints
by the solver.
This can be used to specify a personal blacklist.
However, the following remains to be done:
* Make it easier to work with several config files. Currently, we can
reset the config file, but not use a stack of config files. `cabal-dev`
allows the latter.
* Distinguish config file constraints from command-line constraints in
error messages.
* Allow a single config file line to contain a list of constraints.
