Isn't there a way to use some stripped-down version of ghc and the base
libraries, providing only what the user really needs, in versions which
are known to work, and supply that together with the application?


there is hugs, which is a small, fast haskell interpreter. It is embeddable ( exposes a C api for embedding - it is written in C), supports many language extensions and can be stripped down (in terms of libraries) as far as you like, but is now often forgotten, overlooked in so far as haskell implementations go.

I'd love to use haskell as a configuration language, provide some
combinators and effectively get the rest for free.
But it is not acceptable for a user to go through the mess of installing
a ghc environment on, say, Windows, only to change some settings.

I don't understand. Why don't you use Haskell as the scripting
language?
