+== cabal install ==
+
+The automatic package manager for Haskell!
+
+Intended usage:
+
+    cabal install xmonad
+
+Just works. Defaults make sense, and by default we don't fail unless it
+is unrecoverable.
+
+== Dependences ==
+
+   base >= 2.1, process, directory, pretty, bytestring >= 0.9
+   mtl, network, regex-compat, unix, Cabal>=1.3,
+   zlib >= 0.4, HTTP >= 3000.0 && < 3000.1, filepath >= 1.0
+
+Kind of ironic we need cabal install to make it easier to build cabal
+install. 
+
+== Developer docs ==
 
     CabalInstall, what happens under the hood.
