Comment (by claus):
Instead of including the mingw installer, how about preserving the
internal directory layout of the bits of mingw that get included?
That would avoid the need for extra `-B` flags in ghc, cabal, hsc2hs, ..,
it would make gcc much less prone to picking up the wrong
executables/libraries/include files from other places, allowing it to work
as intended (its build-in paths start searching relative to the gcc
executable, allowing relocation). See this cvs-ghc thread for more
details:
ghc head on windows: gcc.exe: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1': No
such file or directory
