Sorry, that's a bit confusing isn't it. There was no soegtk-0.12.0
release, but it's probably more sensible to just call this one
soegtk-0.12.1 anyway. I'll do that.

The foo-1.0 syntax is for exact versions. There really is no Cabal-1.10
release, there was Cabal-1.10.0.0, 1.10.1.0 and 1.10.2.0

You could instead say:

$ cabal install 'Cabal ==1.10.*'

and you'd get the most recent 1.10.x release (which currently is the
latest anyway since 1.12.x isn't on hackage yet)

ghc-6.10.x came with Cabal-1.6.x, ghc-6.12.x came with Cabal-1.8.x. So
we're already requiring ghc-6.10 users to update their Cabal lib.
