cabal-install's build-depends need relaxing for GHC 7.2

Description

cabal-install has a pretty conservative set of package versions in its build-depends. GHC 7.2 ships with newer versions of some of them. The attached patch relaxes the version constraints enough for it to build (on Linux, at least).

Are there any plans to fix this, or are we waiting to see what 7.4 uses?

The next release should build ok with current versions of GHC. I'm marking this as a "duplicate" of the more recent #906.
