Cabalization of the GHC library.

Description

Rebuilding the GHC library when, say, a new version of Cabal is install, is not very convenient. Even harder is it to build with profiling enabled. Cabalizing the library would be an ideal solution, although I'm not sure how it'll work with the rest of the build-system.
