---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Collecting some current issues to avoid in forthcoming installers (there
does not seem to be an installer category?). I don't know when these were
introduced, but I've just reinstalled `ghc-6.12.3` to make sure these are
due to the installer.
1. `.hs` is still registered to `ghc_haskell` (cf. #916). I lost my
existing shell command additions for that file type, but did not check
whether that happened during uninstall or install.
2. The `icons` directory doesn't exist, no ghc/haskell icon for `.hs`
files
{{{
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ghc_haskell\DefaultIcon
(Standard) REG_SZ C:\haskell\ghc\ghc-6.12.3\icons\hsicon.ico
}}}
3. I've uninstalled, then installed GHC, but `ghc-pkg list` still reports
remnants of previous install (after `ghc-pkg recache`, it still lists
`ghc-paths`, from the local package db). Is that intended? Is it
documented which parts of an installation should survive (`ghci.conf`:
yes; filetype associations and commands should, but don't; anything
else?)?
4. `ghc-pkg field * haddock-html` lists the `lib/*` directories, not
anything related to documentation (with the original installer, you need
to issue this command in an empty directory, to work around #4156).

5. Documentation cross-links are thoroughly messed up (the urls seem to be
missing the package identifier): eg, the `Bool` in `Data.List` refer to
`libraries/Data-Bool..` instead of `libraries/base-4.2.0.2%5CData-Bool..`
6. Trying to cabal-install packages on top of this leads to documentation
problems:
{{{
