This version of the Haskell platform should contain cabal-install 1.16.0.2, but for some reason this dependency seems to have been left out (previous haskell-platform ebuilds do have it). See the full list here: https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/blob/2013.2.0.0/haskell-platform.cabal
I added >=dev-haskell/cabal-1.16.0.3 as a dependency in the -r2 from the overlay and built everything on an empty system (it works fine). haskell@: Does anyone mind if I revbump the version in the tree and add the dependency? Then if we stabilize some version of cabal-install we should be almost ready to stabilize the platform.

Sure, than's fine.
