Welcome back, and thanks for creating this project. :)

This is an awful lot of code with no explanation. Could you briefly describe what this accomplishes?

now it's possible to start using haskell without any haskell tools installed on a machine, you could download ghc using hsenv for some time now hsenv can also set up cabal-install from scratch inside the virtual environment. I've created a package called cabal-install-bundle which is a cabal-install with all its non-ghc deps merged inside. This patch chooses version of cabal-install-bundle based on installed version of Cabal library, downloads cib from hackage, and installas it using runghc Setup.hs configure/build/install
