Comment:

 I'm not really sure what is the right way to fix this. Adding ~/cabal/bin
 to all-users PATH is wrong, and adding %INSTALLDIR%/bin only to the
 current user's PATH will break things for other users. Perhaps we should
 recommend doing `cabal install --global` when replacing executables that
 come with the platform?
