[Haskell-beginners] Add Global Package

[Jeffrey Brown]

If you use Stack then you can add a .cabal file to your project that
indicates what it depends on. Here's an example I use:

https://github.com/JeffreyBenjaminBrown/montevideo/blob/master/mtv-util/mtv-util.cabal

(It uses the `random` package too; if you search for "random"  you'll find
the dependencies.)

Stack has global config options too:
https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/yaml_configuration/
which seems likely to offer the same capability; I don't know how to do it
that way as I always work within a project with a cabal file.
