 Hi all,

 The cabal-install README mentions the dependency on the zlib Haskell
 package, which is pulled in by bootstrap.sh, but not on the C library,
 which isn't. It might be useful to mention it (Ubuntu package: "zlib1g-
 dev") in the installation instructions/quickstart sections of the README
 (it took me a moment to figure out why the build was failing even though I
 was following instructions, and which package I needed).

 Thanks,
 - Benja
