Comment:

 Fixed with a bit of a hack:

 {{{

   * Parse compiler field from old config files correctly
   Really old versions of cabal-install generated a default config
   containing "compiler: GHC". Sadly the new way we generate the
   config file parser from the command line parser means we end up
   with a case-sensitive parser as it only matches the exact
   command line flags. So we hack it and add in a traditional
   parser for that field only. Really the command line and config
   file infrastructure needs rewriting again. Sigh.
