[Haskell-cafe] Macros For Cabal Version

[Michael Sloan]

If Cabal itself is a dependency, then you can use the
MIN_VERSION_Cabal macro.  That'll only work if your build script is
built via cabal, because it generates cabal_macros.h .

Another approach would be to rely on GHC_PACKAGE_PATH being accurate
(or if the global db is used), and run "ghc-pkg field Cabal version".
