Hi,

first some background: there is an issue with having Haskell on the next OS X 
“El Capitan”: [1] caused by security updates in the operating system.
The cause is too old `unix` package, the same issue as in [2]

Could someone verify that my understanding of the issue is correct, i.e. how 
Cabal-the-tool and Cabal-the-library interoperate.

For me it seems, that one of the easiest ways to fix the issue (for the users), 
is to have a new release in 7.8 branch, with updated `unix` dependency.
Or is it there too might hassle to be possible?

Greetings,

P.S. hopefully Windows 10 doesn’t pose similar surprises.
