Comment (by simonmar):
We have Cabal in the source tree for two reasons:
(1) So that we don't have to depend on the user having the correct version
of Cabal installed. We often make changes to GHC and Cabal in tandem, and
we can do that without having to release a new Cabal and have everyone
upgrade to it every time we need to make a change.
(2) We ship Cabal with GHC, so it needs to be in the tree anyway.
