is there even tool support for "i've got a new major version of ghc, please rebuild and register everything i had registered for the old major version."?
Gentoo has such a tool. The ghc ebuild instructs users to run ghc-updater after upgrading ghc. It identifies all ghc library packages that portage installed for all other versions of ghc and re-emerges them in the correct order (possibly upgrading them at the same time). It'd probably be a useful feature to include in cabal-install. Duncan
