[Haskell-cafe] Haskell minimal (portable) development environment

[Alexander Solla]

I'm doing something similar.  I'm using Vagrant with SaltStack to do my
configuration management.  I would recommend you do the same (or similar,
with puppet/chef/etc).  I went through quite a bit of pain at one point
when I lost track of a machine's configuration, and I don't want to repeat
that experience.  Also, SaltStack has a nice provisioning system.
