Comment:
I think C++ support is important. Because some Haskell packages' use C++
library. e.g.
[http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell/Building#On_Windows wxHaskell],
[http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskore-supercollider haskore-
supercollider], [http://hackage.haskell.org/package/HODE HODE], etc...
When linking C++ library, package requires gcc-g++'s libstdc++.a. But GHC
6.12 doesn't have libstdc++.a, so we don't use C++ library easily.
ghc-tarballs doesn't have gcc-g++-3.4.5-20060117-3.tar.gz. So, I think we
must add this file to ghc-tarballs, build system install this file to
Windows binary.
