+		@cabal-helper@ provides a library which wraps the internal use of executables
+		to lift the restrictions imposed by linking against versions of GHC before
+		@7.10@.
+		
+		@cabal-helper@ 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\&#39;s on disk state (dist/setup-config)
+		written by it&#39;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&#39;s
+		packages.
+		
+		Furthermore the wrapper supports one special case namely reading a state
+		file for Cabal itself. This is needed as Cabal compiles it&#39;s Setup.hs using
+		itself and not using any version of Cabal installed in any package database.
+		
+		@cabal-helper@ can compile with @Cabal &gt;= 1.14@ but requires @Cabal &gt;= 1.16@
+		at runtime.
