* Task point 3: drop dependencies on mingw32 functionality in the

Windows-native versions of Perl are available.

only library dependencies matter. we can run any external tools during
compiling process, be it compiled by msvc, mingw or even cygwin

For the most part, I agree with you--the part I don't quite agree with are remaining dependencies on mingw/cygwin tools in order to run GHC.  As I understand it a Windows-native GHC would be able to run without mingw/cygwin tools at all, so GHC binaries may be distributed as Windows installs running under DOS or an IDE such as Visual Haskell, that is, both GHC and programs compiled by GHC would be Windows-native.  A GHC dependency on Perl running under mingw would run contrary to that concept: I mentioned Perl both for that reason and to clarify whether my concept of the task scope was correct.  What do you think?

Cheers,
Pete
