I'm not the most sophisticated user of cabal-install ever, but it appears
to me that 8.8.1 can't build 3.0.0.0?  depends on base >= 4.8 && < 4.13,
where 8.8.1 installs base-4.13.0.0.

I'm working with cabal-install-3.0.0.0.tar.gz .  It looks like it might
be possible to up some of the dependencies, like HTTP to 4000.3.14, but
I suppose there's a reason why cabal-install itself isn't there yet.
