Dear Simon, Simon and Sigbjorn,

I have finnaly managed to go through a complete "make"
session without any errors! (There is a caveat: see end of
mail).

Some comments: In the end, it worked out-of-the-box. But it
only did that after I had installed and reinstalled out of
the necessary tools and libraries.

The configure scripts complains about some of these, but not
all. In particular, the following things I had to find out
myself (well, you guys figured it out for me):

  * I was using the wrong version of GHC, (mingw instead of
    cygwin),

  * I was using the wrong version of the readline libraries,

  * I was using the wrong version of GHC when I tried to
    compile GHCi.

Each of these problems could have easily been flagged by the
configure program, avoiding a lot of problems on my side
(and your side).

However, ghci crashes at start up time! I get the following
behavior:

>>>
[lap/bin] -: ./ghci
   ___         ___ _
  / _ \ /\  /\/ __(_)
