Is it possible to use Cabal with older versions (e. g. 6.0 to 6.2.2) of GHC?

Cabal works with 6.2 (I haven't tried 6.0, but that might work too). For all but the most complex packages, you need only a basic setup script bundled with a copy of the library. I've placed one at http://www.soi.city.ac.uk/~ross/cabal-setup-1.0.tar.gz That builds a program that can be used as a Cabal setup script for most packages, including Cabal itself.
