  Priority:  normal              |    Milestone:         
 Component:  cabal-install tool  |      Version:  1.8.0.6
  Severity:  minor               |     Keywords:         
Difficulty:  unknown             |   Ghcversion:         
  Platform:  Other Unix          |  
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 On a vanilla FreeBSD install, you do not have any of wget or curl
 installed. The system however bundles the fetch(1) tool, which is
 perfectly capable of retrieving files.

 I suggest adding support for this tool in bootstrap.sh.
