Description

haskell/cabal#5596 has revealed that some file modification times (specifically, times prior to 1980-01-01, which is the MS-DOS epoch) are troublesome on Windows for all currently existing versions of `cabal-install`. Maybe Hackage should learn about that, and disallow packages with pre-epochal modification times in them?
