 If a Custom build-type is used, Setup.hs may be built with a different
 version of Cabal than the one that cabal-install was built with. This can
 cause hard-to-find (seemingly random) build failures.

 Perhaps cabal-install should warn when it runs Setup.hs with a different
 version of Cabal than the one that it was built with. Alternatively, it
 could fail if the version of Cabal that cabal-install was built with is
 not available when compiling the Setup script.
