The GHC version allows a list of the extensions from
Language.Haskell.Extension to be given:

 {-# LANGUAGE CPP, ForeignFunctionInterface,
              MultiParamTypeClasses #-}

I'm not sure the commas are a good idea, but it's written this way in
the Cabal documentation.  It's not too late to change this.
