Currently we have a somewhat hard-to-maintain contents just in the
introduction. This cuts that initial contents down to just link to
the chapters (plus sections within the intro), and then use an
automatically generated table of contents in the other chapters.

Also tweak the CSS because pandoc's TOC feature turns all section
headings into links and that changes the visual appearance. Use the
CSS to make it look the same as before.

Introduce cabal-install much earlier. Give more of a basic intro.

It covers using cabal init and the basic steps for building from there.

See the comments on 5a62f4ab.

This fix is incorrect since "--" was already stripped out of extraArgs.

This reverts commit 9092b59a.

run allows for other arguments than the executable name i.e. arguments
to pass to the executable when we run it. We need to filter these out
from the extraArgs we pass to build.

Passes the extra arguments to 'cabal run' to the build phase so that
only the requested executables are built. Fixes #1503.

Fixes #1498.

Fixes #1496 (presumably).

See discussion in #1353.

Fix AMP warnings

Fixes #1494.

Eliminate a warning in Distribution.Client.Get

"cabal get --source-repository" fails under ghc 7.7 when a brancher is missing

System.Cmd has simply reexported rawSystem from System.Process
since at least process-1.0.1.1, the minimum version we allow,
and has been deprecated just as long :)

In the version of process that comes with GHC 7.7,
readProcessWithExitCode raises an exception when
the process could not be started (for example if
the command to be run doesn't exist).

Fixes #1482.

Add a workaround for issue #1463.

See #1488.

Avoids potential conflicts with old Cabal snapshots.

See #1485.

Fixes #1485.

Fixes #1477.

'cabal repl': require Cabal version to be >= 1.18.

Fixes #1478.
