Ok, then I guess it's ok. ghc-6.10.1 and .2 did not ship editline. So we
don't need to bundle it to preserve compatibility. It means we've got a
slightly different package set but editline is not commonly used so it's
probably ok in practise.

In the future it'll be ok as they're all using haskeline and they've
adjusted the ghc build so that it doesn't get installed and registered,
it's just used when building the ghc executable. So no api worries.

So we'll bundle editline on non-Windows to preserve api compatability
with ghc-6.10.2. Not sure yet about the time package.
