Imagine if GHC proper was cabalized.  Imagine if all stuff under
libraries/ were to disappear.  Imagine if cabal had special magic to
automatically pick a working compiler (one with base and Cabal).

$ cabal-install ghc # installs a ghc built using the host haskell
                    # compiler, which must support pattern guards
$ cabal-install ghc # finds the ghc/ghc-pkg just installed, and
                    # uses it to build a new ghc, after installing "core
                    # libs" (everything GHC depends on).

More dreams....
