We shouldn't expect Cabal developers to run GHC's validate when pushing 
patches.  The right thing to do is for GHC to use a branch of Cabal (subset 
only, so no conflicts), and only push patches to GHC's branch after a validate.

This entails some extra overhead to the development model.  Thoughts?
