#2694: Building GHC 6.10 with Cabal 1.6 fails due to in-tree Cabal 1.5.5

If you've installed Cabal 1.6 (as we're recommending) GHC won't build,
falling over at,
{{{
/home/dons/ghc-6.10/build/utils/installPackage/install-
inplace/bin/installPackage
install '/home/dons/ghc-6.10/build/utils/ghc-pkg/install-
inplace/bin/ghc-pkg'
installPackage: You need to re-run the 'configure' command. The version of
Cabal being used has changed (was Cabal-1.5.5, now Cabal-1.6.0.1)
}}}
Working out if this really is a correctness issue seems a good idea --
maybe we can lift this restriction, since it seems likely people will in
the future have newer cabals than the one ghc ships with today.
