#31: Automatically bring cabal packages forward with Platform install?

Before installing the Haskell Platform, I had several versions of GHC
installed, each with their own associated libraries. That was more by
accident than on purpose, as I had not uninistalled older version of GHC.
Regardless, when I installed the platform, I had to install all those
cabal packages again. That might get annoying if each new release of the
Haskell platform requires me to rebuild my environment.
Note that I am talking about cabal packages that do NOT come with the
Platform. I recognize Platform-included packages will be upgraded
automatically by each install.
Note that I installed on Windows XP, but I don't think this is a OS-
specific issue.
