that still requires some discovery though! The idea (i'd hope) would be to
make the "my first ghc install on a vm" (for experts and new folks both)
go from
#install ghc via whatever mechanism, eg wget, guntar, cd blah ; make
install PREFIX=yah
#figure out how to install cabal, eg discover wget and then ./bootstrap
# cabal install thingsIwannaTry
to
# install ghc via some wget and make
#cabal install nice things
