README should contain versions of tested dependencies

[rooprob]

Hi there,

Have a little difficulty building or installing cake3 on my system, and was wondering what dependency versions were supported with this distribution.

Issues are numerous, so I'll only mention them briefly now and file better bug reports if required:

$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint
DISTRIB_RELEASE=17.3
DISTRIB_CODENAME=rosa
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa"

If I comment out these lines: src/Text/QuasiMake.hs

-                        
-instance Lift Text where
-    lift = litE . stringL . T.unpack

a further cabal install fails at

    Perhaps you meant one of these:

      ‘GT’ (imported from Data.Generics)

If I switch to ghc 8.7.4, I get a different error:

src/Development/Cake3/Utils/Find.hs:52:67:
    Could not deduce (Functor m) arising from a use of ‘<$>’
    from the context (MonadIO m)
      bound by the type signature for

      at src/Development/Cake3/Utils/Find.hs:51:34-64
    Possible fix:
      add (Functor m) to the context of
        the type signature for
          getDirectoryContentsRecursive :: MonadIO m => File -> m [File]
    In the expression:
      map (FileT x) <$> (getDirectoryContentsRecursive' topdir)
    In an equation for ‘getDirectoryContentsRecursive’:
        getDirectoryContentsRecursive td@(FileT x topdir)
          = map (FileT x) <$> (getDirectoryContentsRecursive' topdir)
