Actually, it just got trivial:

    $ diffcabal old-platform.cabal haskell-platform.cabal
    Cabal 1.8.0.2 -> 1.8.0.6
    QuickCheck 2.1.0.3 -> 2.1.1.1
    alex 2.3.2 -> 2.3.3
    array 0.3.0.0 -> 0.3.0.1
    base 4.2.0.0 -> 4.2.0.2
    bytestring 0.9.1.5 -> 0.9.1.7
    cabal-install 0.8.0 -> 0.8.2
    cgi 3001.1.7.2 -> 3001.1.7.3
    directory 1.0.1.0 -> 1.0.1.1
    extensible-exceptions Added:  0.1.1.1
    fgl 5.4.2.2 -> 5.4.2.3
    filepath 1.1.0.3 -> 1.1.0.4
    ghc 6.12.1 -> 6.12.3
    happy 1.18.4 -> 1.18.5
    hpc 0.5.0.4 -> 0.5.0.5
    old-time 1.0.0.3 -> 1.0.0.5
    process 1.0.1.2 -> 1.0.1.3
    regex-base 0.93.1 -> 0.93.2
    regex-compat 0.92 -> 0.93.1
    regex-posix 0.94.1 -> 0.94.2
    stm 2.1.1.2 -> 2.1.2.1
    template-haskell 2.4.0.0 -> 2.4.0.1
    unix 2.4.0.0 -> 2.4.0.2
