#2698: Windows binary distribution pops up README.TXT for the source
distribution

Priority: normal | Component: Compiler
Version: 6.9 | Severity: minor
Keywords: | Testcase:
Architecture: x86 | Os: Windows
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
When the Windows installer finishes, it offers to show you a README. The
first sentence of this is "This is the source tree for GHC,..." and it
goes on to discuss how to get the source and build it. This is a bit
confusing for a binary distribution.
I'd suggest leaving it out altogether if no alternative readme targetted
at binary distributions exists.
This is with 6.10.1 RC1
