Package versions match Debian jessie, except for a few differences
needed due to the different version of ghc pulling in a few buildin
packages with other versions.
Most of the patches were cherry-picked from past commits, since these are
older versions.
Added a cabal.config file; the result of running cabal freeze.
It's not used yet (needs a newer cabal than is in debian stable),
but the plan is that once the autbuilders are swiched to jessie,
this can be used to make cabal install the same versions of packages
that this patch got building, and so avoid breaking every time eg, yesod is
upgraded.

I don't know why, but I keep finding that the way I hacked this to work
before doesn't work and a new way is needed. Perhaps changes to cabal made
my old hacks break?
Was able to reuse many of the android patches, but several had to be
re-done. On Android, ghc is a stage2 build, so can compile, but not run TH
code. But debian's ghc on armel cannot even compile TH code, so it has
to be patched out.
Some haskell packages have been updated to new versions, including yesod
and DAV, and their patches had to be redone.
The Makefile now has 2 new targets. The first is run on a companion x86
system to do the build and get TH splices. Then the second target is run
the same source tree on the arm system to build without needing TH.

Android build is now almost entirely automated, except for the installation
of cross-built libs needed for XMPP.
Haskell packages updated to current newest versions. Am not currently
pinning the versions, as that didn't work out last time I tried it
(must have missed some pins before).
