It should be noted however, that the cygwin32 package is pretty slow.
Perhaps it works better on NT than 95, but I believe they (cygnus) are
still working on improving the speed of it. Compiled code seemed to run
at a reasonable speed, but I would expect that any I/O or system calls
performed by a ghc program would bring the speed right down. Compilations
take a long time.
It's nice (cygwin32) because it works, but not so nice because of the speed.
(probably quite tolerable on a 333Mhz pentium)
