Specify dependency versions?

Perhaps this is soon to come, but since this is available on hackage it's only a matter of time before it will begin failing to build.

I realize this is a bootstrapping issue, but the recommended approach here would be to use Stackage for this. The place where this is most problematic is on Windows where downloading the cabal.config via wget is tricky, but we most likely will be including stackage.exe in the MinGHC bundle in the future.

I usually build it against the latest LTS. I have intentionally avoided checking in the cabal.config to the repo so that others can build it against whatever they want. But perhaps we should at least put some lower bounds on the dependencies.

Windows users can always visit the stackage cabal.config in a browser and do file -> save as. It's not the best workflow but it's something.

And we'll presumably be hosting stackage.exe downloads on stackage.org soon enough.
