Suprising. It certainly seems to contradict my understanding of how
Cabal works (which is derived from
http://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/cabal-latest/doc/users-guide/authors.html#conditional-resolution)

Anyway, I'm glad that you have recorded a patch which at least gives
GHC 7 a chance of working. If I knew where the repo was I would try it
out (it doesn't seem to be linked anywhere from
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/show/0.4.1/show.cabal).

Cheers,
Max
