ghc-7.10.2 requires version 1.22 of cabal. this is a hard requirement that needs to be satisfied. if not, you cannot build the compiler. i believe it's better to be consistent and explicit about this requirement.

If you are a new user, this is not a problem. If you are not, updating cabal using cabal install cabal-install might not update cabal. My problem was that I installed cabal using brew. Running cabal install cabal-install never seemed to update cabal to the new version and I couldn't build the compiler.

By forcing the version, it throws an error that tells you to update cabal

I think this is a good requirement. Will merge if no one else objects.
