GHC 6.12 changed the format of the internal package database. Only
cabal-install 0.8 can read this format properly. Version 0.8 is only
available on Hackage, the binaries available are cabal-install 0.6.2.
I assume part of the platform release effort is to create new
cabal-install binaries.

Using GHC 6.12.1 on Windows currently is hard, since one must compile the latest version of cabal-install, which is a nightmare to do for a typical windows user
Out of curiosity, why do you need to compile the latest version of cabal-install? Why can't you use the precompiled one?
