 If I have version 6.6 of GHC installed, with packages foo, bar, and bang,
 and I install ghc 6.8, I'd like a way to automatically install foo, bar,
 and bang.

 This could be part of GHC's installation script possibly, or maybe a
 feature of cabal install.

 cabal can check the installed packages for the previous version of GHC and
 "cabal install" them.
