upgrading visual studio integration to use 6.8.2....

[Krasimir Angelov]

The hard work is to integrate it with the new version of Cabal. The
problem is that the configurations model that Cabal employs can't be
easily matched with the configurations in Visual Studio. For the new
GHC versions I expect that the changes will be more trivial.

Cheers,
  Krasimir
