Where do I get the cabal command? I'm installing GHC on a new machine

install cabal-install because I don't have the cabal command and I 
don't know how to tie the knot in this case.

Download the cabal-install .tar.gz from Hackage, unpack it.
There's a script bootstrap.sh in the directory, run that, it wgets zlib and 
HTTP and 
installs them, after that, it installs cabal-install and you're ready to go.
If you're on windows, there's a cabal binary installer somewhere (should be 
findable from the cabal homepage, I believe).

There are binaries of the 'cabal' command on many distros too.

And to make many, many peoples life easier the binaries could have
been included in ghc 6.10.2 (but I know there are some philosophical
reasons against it).

 Great! But what happened to the time package? It was in 6.10.1. Has it been
 intentionally excluded from 6.10.2?

Yes, the maintainer of the time package asked for it to be removed:

 Can I remove the time package from the GHC build process? I
 want to update it but I don't want to deal with GHC's
 autotools stuff or break the GHC build.


 Then I should probably hold off on installing the new version for now.
 Any estimate on when this problem will be fixed?

The time package will be part of the first platform release (assuming we
get enough volunteers to do the platform release!)

In the mean time you can just:

$ cabal install time
