Due to a problem with the template-haskell package and Cabal, you
cannot cabal-install the emgm package with GHC 6.8. However, take
heart! EMGM works very well with GHC 6.8. You merely have to download
the tar.gz package from Hackage yourself, build it, and install it.
I thought I had seen you mention a workaround for that issue, but
if not, perhaps you might want to add your experience to
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/326
Cabal should support Cabal-version-dependent Setup.hs
There's a sketched hack-around at the end, using Setup.hs only
to call to separate Setup-version.hs files, to circumvent Cabal API
instabilities. Not nice, but perhaps better than to bypass Cabal
alltogether? One would also have to pass parameters, and the
Process API has changed in the meantime.., which I why I still
think Cabal itself should simply be able to pick cabal-versioned
configuration and setup files, if they exist.
