Just turn off self-globbing for ghc-pkg. Anyone using a sensible
shell (i.e. bash) will still get globbing anyway. I'd be surprised if
anyone at all notices.
ok. i don't like excluding users needlessly, but the ghc-pkg commands
don't seem to be prepared for globbing anyway, so the machinery for
enabling selective self-globbing in ghc-pkg is in place, but commented
out (to make validate happier) until someone needs it and decides where
to provide it.
oddly, i couldn't find a configure.mk variable pointing to the
mingw location (there are several programs from there, ar, ld,
and distrib/prep-bindist-mingw makes its own guesses), so i
used an explicit path in Makefile, which should probably be
fixed. perhaps you'd like to integrate the glob.hs/CRT_noglob.o combo
into ghc proper, as an option for other ghc-compiled
wanting to use '*' on windows? i leave that to you.
To finish off this patch we need a configure test that looks for
CRT_noglob.o, or alternatively looks for the mingw location. Also I would
leave out glob.hs, as it isn't required. The rest of the patch looks fine
to me.
Cheers,
Simon
