Fails to build on Windows with GHC < 8.10 because easy-file fails to build #988

Hakyll transitively depends on easy-file package, whose 0.2.4 fails to build on Windows with GHC < 8.10 at the moment: https://github.com/kazu-yamamoto/easy-file/issues/9

I'm creating this issue for two reasons:

I want to write this down;
I want it to be a gathering place for people who use older compilers. How many are out there? Does it make sense for us to strive and keep backward compatibility as long as possible, or is "three latest majors" an okay approach?
