I'm running cabal-install 1.20.0.3 -- when I try to install packages for my 
cross-compiler built from GHC HEAD I get:

> ghc-stage1: ghc no longer supports single-file style package databases 
> (dist/package.conf.inplace) use 'ghc-pkg init' to create
>  the database with the correct format.

So, do I need an even newer version of cabal-install (HEAD maybe?)?  Or does 
cabal-install just not support GHC HEAD yet at all yet?
