RE: Unable to run main.hs example for win32 distribution

[Sigbjorn Finne (Intl Vendor)]

In case others are not having much luck getting cygwin and
ghc-4.03 set up - make sure that the list of files returned
when running 'ls /bin' from within bash, includes sh.exe and
perl.exe (as stated on the installation page).

Without either, the ghc driver script will fail in non-obvious
ways.
