[Haskell-cafe] Automatically test different versions of single dependency

[Alp Mestanogullari]

Yeah, I used the 00-index.tar.gz too, the directory listing did it for me
(in scoutess). I was saying 'cabal' but cabal-dev works just fine for this
too, it responds to the necessary commands too. Good luck :-)
