Comment (by duncan):

 Done. The `--constraint` flag should now be take into account for install
 and upgrade. There is no `--constraint` flag for the fetch command but it
 would be easy to add.

   * Change the dep resolver interface to pass constraints separately from
 targets
   This lets us specify constraints for packages that are not targets.

 Tue Dec 16 23:34:46 GMT 2008  Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>
   * Have the dep resolver take constraints and targets separately

 Tue Dec 16 23:50:32 GMT 2008  Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>
   * Implement cabal install --constraint=
   Connect up the existing user interface with the new dep resolver api.
