+name:                cabal-helper
+version:             0.1.0.0
+synopsis:            Simple interface to Cabal's configuration state used by ghc-mod
+description:
+    CabalHelper provides a library which wraps the internal use of executables
+    to lift the restrictions imposed by linking against versions of GHC before
+    @7.10@.
+
+    CabalHelper uses a wrapper executable to compile the actual cabal-helper
+    executable at runtime while linking against an arbitrary version of
+    Cabal. This runtime-compiled helper executable is then used to extract
+    various bits and peices from Cabal on disk state (dist/setup-config) written
+    by it's configure command.
+
+    In addition to this the wrapper executable also supports installing any
+    version of Cabal from hackage in case it cannot be found in any available
+    package database. The wrapper installs these instances of the Cabal library
+    into a private package database so as to not interfere with the user's
+    packages.
+
+    Furthermore the wrapper supports one special case namely reading a state
+    file for Cabal itself. This is needed as Cabal compiles it's Setup.hs using
+    itself and not using any version of Cabal installed in any package database.
+
+    Currently CabalHelper supports @Cabal >= 1.16@.
