Hmmm, I still fail to see why we should ship e.g. cpphs or hsc2hs with any
Haskell implementation, but not Alex/Happy/Haddock/... What is so special
about the former ones?
Even though some people may not like it, most Haskell programs use
CPP. Its got to the stage where Haskell compilers have a specific -cpp
flag, but not for any other programs. The community has chosen CPP to
be special.
Let's keep things separate, even if this means that
our source distros are a bit larger than they have to be if every tool was
installed.
I think the Windows distribution of Hugs should include cpphs, just so
its feasible to install packages with Cabal - otherwise all of them
are likely to fail. License issues aren't a problem on Windows because
no one cares :-)
Thanks
