533	Cabal file in UTF-8 format can not be handled by Cabal	guest		"According to http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/Cabal/authors.html , a .cabal file should be a Unicode UTF-8 text file; when I change the file to UTF-8 with notepad, Cabal can not handle it:
> runhaskell Setup configure
Setup: xyz.cabal:1: unrecognised field or section: ""\65279Name:
xyz""

Changing this file back to ANSI solves the problem.
