I think this raises an interesting question: the newly updated (for 
example,)opengl package might strive to work with the existing release Haskell 
Platform, rather than require newer versions of other HP libraries also.  Of 
course, cabal-install will deal with the latter too, it just leads to a few 
more dependency problems (& stability/testedness problems?).
