Title: GHC-7.6.1 compatibility on Windows 7

This patch includes the following changes:

* Expand package ranges to allow ghc-7.6.1 on Windows 7 to build
* Update the source to include an import of `catch` from `Control.Exception` when ghc-7.6.1 is detected
* Remove some unused imports
* Upgrade to using tar >= 0.4, as that allows the directory version shipped with ghc-7.6.1 to work. Of all the changes, this is likely to be the most controversial, though I think we can work around it with CPP if it comes to that.
