GHC-7.6.1 shipped with Cabal-1.16.0

We subsequently found a few bugs and released Cabal-1.16.0.3 (1.16.0.2
was the brown paper bag release, oops). We (cabal devs) assumed that
GHC-7.6.2 would just automatically pick up the latest bug fix release in
the Cabal-1.16.0.x series but for some reason that did not happen.

Yes ideally we should be using Cabal-1.16.0.3 and if there is a
GHC-7.6.3 then that should certainly use Cabal-1.16.0.3.

In the absence of a GHC-7.6.3, I'm not sure if it's practical for the HP
to bump the Cabal version.
