ghc and cabal

dear Cabal developers,

Simon Marlow writes that I need to install the later version of Cabal
independently on GHC.

I do have some difficulties with this, because Cabal-1.1.1 `README'
suggests just to run  `make install'  as a root,  I do not see any
configureing possibility for the installation, and so on.

But, in principle, what is the relation between Cabal and GHC 
installation?

In   ghc-6.4.1.20050801,  
     `ghci -package Cabal'    says  "Cabal-1.0".

I have read some of Cabal manual, about how to use  runhaskell. 
But as I recall, I never installed Cabal. GHC has installed it itself.
(?)
Which Cabal version will be in official  ghc-6.4.1  by default?
If it is 1.0, then  ghc-6.4.1 will fail with `make' for profiling.
So, the user needs to install another Cabal version and to link it 
to GHC, and this occurs difficult. This is likely to complicate the 
usage of GHC
(?)
