All those packages are already Cabalized. Hugs uses Cabal to build all its libraries. As for whether all the Cabal scripts work propertly with GHC... I suspect there may be some hiccups, since we haven't tested that.
I tested several of them with GHC some time ago. I'd expect all the fptools packages except base, readline and stm to work with Cabal+GHC, and those three are included in the proposed core. There may be glitches under Windows; the ones using configure will need to be built under MinGW. BTW, the minimal Hugs distribution has base, haskell98 and Cabal only.
