Regardless, it has been my general experience that almost everything obtained from Hackage fails miserably to compile under Windows.

About the worst problem there was Gtk2hs being confused about some Autoconfig stuff or something...
Many packages assume you have the msys / mingw stuff installed on Windows (if they work at all; those of us who don't develop on Windows wouldn't really know how to go about being compatible).
