Update README.md

[dudebout]

This favors the version of hsenv on hackage as opposed to the one not maintained. This new version is the only one working with ghc 7.6 or newer.

@gregwebs I have no experience with hsenv. Mind having a look at this?

thanks, looks like we still need to adjust yesod devel

@snoyberg, hsenv is a real breeze for yesod. I can try code from multiple github repositories very easily without having to setup anything and when I run into a problem I just throw away the hsen and start again. This was a decisive element for me in using yesod. With hsenv I am not afraid of fast changing code.

@gregwebs, as the new hsenv maintainer mentioned there is at least a workaround for now.

@dudebout but it is slower to rebuild with that workaround. Have you tried using cabal-dev? If you add a --sandbox flag you get the same effect as hsenv.

I thought about it and read the documentation here: https://github.com/creswick/cabal-dev#using-a-sandbox-local-hackage.
It is not as straightforward to use as hsenv and the ghci support is not as good (still from the documentation).
hsenv really allows me to work as usual without thinking about it.

I have noticed the speed problem but this is something that we should be able to fix.

I changed the README to recommend cabal-dev until we can fix yesod devel, after which we can go back to recommending hsenv.
