I'm not sure about happy and foreign interfaces - as long as parsec is 
installed (via cabal or your distribution's packages), GHC will use it 
correctly.

It's worth it if you want a more elaborate build process than ghc itself can 
accomodate, or if you intend to distribute your software on hackage. Running 
"cabal init" will guide you through creating a stub cabal file, so it's not 
too bad.
