I think you need to install Cabal-1.22 at least, if you want
cabal-install 1.22 to work with these flags. That's my suspicion, at
least, I haven't thoroughly tested this. If you have 1.22, I think
cabal-install will just use that, since it's the newest. If it
doesn't, you can try hiding the older ones.
