This implements a bare-bones skeleton for cabal new-exec. The old cabal exec gave programs access to a sandbox's package database. By analogy, cabal new-exec should give programs access to the store's package database; however, this database will be cluttered with many non-project-related packages that may confuse issues. Therefore new-exec selects just the packages that are in the current project's dependency tree and makes them available to compiler tools. Currently only very new GHCs are supported, via the GHC_ENVIRONMENT mechanism for selecting a subset of some package databases. Eventually we should probably also modify the PATH so that dependencies' executables are available.
