Here's how to allow non-cabal users to `stack install hsimport` #13

Tried to stack install this so I don't have to keep a Cabal installation around just for playing with hsimport.. it gets stuck with this:

directory version 1.3.0.0 found
    - hsimport requires >=1.2.0.1 && <1.3

Does it have to be under 1.3 or can we up this? Experimentally I set it higher in hsimport.cabal in my local clone of this repo and after then running simply stack init to generate stack.yaml from your hsimport.cabal, now stack install proceeds just fine and the program builds/installs successfully.

Stack is quite the popular alternative to cabal, so why not apply this simple tweak to your hsimport.cabal! Since it's already on Stackage (apparently), anyone can then stack install hsimport just as with most of the other popular dev-helper tools

hsimport 0.8.3 should now allow directory 1.3.
