We build GHC on Windows every day. I use MSYS with no trouble.
Are there any reasons to use mingw+msys instead of mingw+cygwin?
Last time I needed a quick build of gtk2hs (summer of this year?),
I run in so many problems with msys (too old versions of tools in it)
that I rather patched gtk2hs build system to make it work with cygwin.
Well this may not be an issue any more since I see a newer version
of msys is available from September.
