Hi Reuben,

I've got some remarks on GHC's User's Guide - maybe you can take it into
account for GHC4.08.2:

INSTALLATION ON WINDOWS (2.2.)

- When installing cygwin to the default path "c:\cygwin" without having
previous versions of cygwin or GHC, the following additional mounts were
necessary on my computer (I did the mounting after installing GHC):

  mount -f c: /
  mount c:\\cygwin\\usr\\include /usr/include

If that's generally the case, this could be a solution that doesn't
require
you to install cygwin to the root dir - this information may be a hint
for 2.2.


CREATING DLLs - PROBLEM WITH STRIP? (10.3)

In 10.3 it is said that better not to use strip on DLLs. I experienced
this, too. However, when trying out a "stripped" DLL build with GHC on
different systems, the problem only in some environments and only on
some
systems occured. Is it sure that this is really a problem of strip? - or
may
this also be a "masked" error in the compiled code (remember the
experience
we had with the missing NULL in the argv of a Haskell DLL)?

Go on supporting GHC as you do -- it's great work!

Cheers, Christian
