This isn't a GHC specific thing -- I believe/hope the same libraries
should work equally well for Hugs.

Hmmm... I took a peek at the Library/Win32 stuff in the GHC source distribution, and it looks as if there may a steep-ish learning curve. While I'm prepared in principle to help where I can, I'm concerned about over-commitment...


The situation seems to be this:

* Sigbjorn is actively maintaining hslibs/win32 for Galois reasons, and
is
   reluctant to transfer to libraries/win32 because it's untested (I'm
assuming
   that the Green-Card dependency is soluble by putting the GC output
   in the CVS tree).  Fair enough.

That might remove one learning-curve dependency... are there disadvantages to doing this?


I also noted the lack of a test suite: is there one for hslibs that might be migrated?
