Thanks! Unfortunately darcs is still supporting GHC 7.6 (base 4.6) and 
sandi 0.4 appears to require base 4.7+: 
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/sandi

I think CPP may be required :-/

After some investigation I came to the conclusion that we should
just drop support for GHC's older than 7.10 in both HEAD and 2.12
branches.

The reasons are:

* our slow response time indicate that we don't have a lot of
  developer time to dedicate supporting all GHC >= 7.6 versions;
  and we really need to focus on newer rather than older GHC's.
* debian jessie (the current stable) has a backports package
  repository that provides GHC 7.10
* GHC 7.6 is bugged anyway (see http://tinyurl.com/q23yblu )
  and I recently lost hours trying to compile Darcs with GHC 7.6
  because of that bug. Once I updated my system to get GHC 7.10,
  everything went fine.

So here is a patch that applies on both HEAD and the 2.12 branch.

It makes Darcs requiring base >= 4.8 and time >= 1.5, so there are
a couple of simplifications along with the base version bump.

With this we'll be able to do a 2.12.1 release soon.

Accepting Sergei's patch with mine after positive feedback from Ganesh
and Simon on IRC (http://irclog.perlgeek.de/darcs/2016-09-01#i_13133178).

Also pushing it to the 2.12 branch.

Thanks!
