The only problematic thing is that when we call `cabal clean` or `cabal
haddock` (and possibly others), _without_ first having called `configure`, we
attempt to build the setup script without calling the solver at all. This means
that if you do, say,

    cabal configure
    cabal clean
    cabal clean

for a package with a custom setup script that really needs setup dependencies
(for instance, because there are two versions of Cabal in the global package DB
and the setup script needs the _older_ one), then first call to `clean` will
succeed, but the second call will fail because we will try to build the setup
script without the solver and that will fail.
