We should distinguish the compilers that can build Cabal, from those that cabal supports. Cabal supports several compilers that cannot themselves build Cabal.

I am happy to drop the support for building Cabal using hugs and nhc as I don't believe they have been used for some years.

In particular this will let us fully use new-style IO exceptions, and the new createProcess function.

Sounds good. Lets remove any __HUGS__ and __NHC__ ifdefs then!
