build error on new pandoc pull

[Cesar Romani]

On building the new pull of pandoc I get:

--------------------
[...]
Linking dist\build\pandoc\pandoc.exe ...

cabal.exe: Error: some packages failed to install:
pandoc-1.13.3 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
--------------------

I did:

cabal update
git submodule update
cabal install

cabal version is 1.22.0.0 on Windows 7

If you're on Windows, then I recommend you use the released package,
unless you really know what you're doing with cabal.

I know that the network library tends to be an issue of Windows,
and that is one reason the Haskell Platform is where you should
always start.  It looks like you updated the network library
via cabal to a version other than the one in the HP, and that's
why you're getting this error.

My advice would be to get rid of all your Haskell stuff and
start afresh, starting with the most recent version of the Haskell
Platform.
