I'm pretty sure there used to be a link to the .cabal file somewhere, 
but now I can't seem to find it. Instead, I had to navigate to the Unix 
download page, download the source tarball, untar it (non-trivial under 
Windows), and hunt around for the .cabal file. And *then* I can find out 
what's in [the current release of] HP.

It would be nice if there was a table on the website somewhere that I 
could just glance at to get the same information.

[Also, regarding the page linked above... Who the hell uses <strong> for 
section heading?! Why wou-- oh, wait. It's Pandoc? I guess that also 
explains why we have ASCII-art arrows ["->"] rather than real arrows 
["&rarr;"]. And presumably this stuff is written by hand, becuase GHC is 
missing an arrow...]
