Cabal works with 6.2 (I haven't tried 6.0, but that might work too).
For all but the most complex packages, you need only a basic setup
script bundled with a copy of the library.  I've placed one at

        http://www.soi.city.ac.uk/~ross/cabal-setup-1.0.tar.gz

That builds a program that can be used as a Cabal setup script for most
packages, including Cabal itself.
