---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
We plan to support building our libraries, wherever possible (in
particular, it will not be possible for the wired-in packages), with the
same set of GHC versions that we support building GHC with.
We need to:
* Write down our supported GHC version policy for libraries in the
appropriate place.
* Make the nightly builders test building the libraries with the
bootstrapping compiler, so that regressions are detected.
* Add dependencies or other constraints to the libraries so that cabal
won't try to use a library with an older compiler.
