Comment(by simonpj):
Trying to install xmonad's dependencies (on Windows) fails thus
{{{
cabal install X11
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring X11-1.5.0.0...
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-compiler
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: in `/tmp/X11-1.5.0.03600/X11-1.5.0.0':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
cabal.exe: Error: some packages failed to install:
X11-1.5.0.0 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
bash-3.1$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 0.8.2
using version 1.8.0.2 of the Cabal library
bash-3.1$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.12.3
bash-3.1$
}}}
So that makes it hard to reproduce your failure.
I'll try your stripped down thing next
