Okay, I misunderstood the problem. Now I fixed the problem, many thanks.
> Of course this also raises the question of what encoding package files
are in. Currently ghc-pkg uses readFile to read the package index which
means it's expecting latin-1 encoding.
Windows escapes local encoding string when using bat file. So this is not
problem for me (wxHaskell uses wxhaskell-register.bat). Does anyone got
problem by that?
