Use conditional includes to use `readGenericPackageDescription` only with newer cabal versions #37

Closed danstiner closed 6 years ago

readPackageDescription must be used with older cabal versions like 2.3, but it is deprecated and the new function is readGenericPackageDescription

Using condition compilation aka CPP is probably the only way to work around this.
