I've attempted to build Gtk2Hs against the 2009.2.0 platform using the
MinGW and MSYS versions recommended on the GHC wiki [2] with current
autoconf/automake/libtool to be able to autoconf Gtk2Hs
I run into an issue while configuring as the Platform installs into a
folder with spaces (/c/Program Files (x86)/Haskell Platform/2009.2.0).
I'm unsure if the root cause is configure, Gtk2Hs or mingw, but it's most
definitely due to there being spaces in the path. I assume there's a
reason ghc usually installs to C:\ghc. This concern is lifted in ticket #6
by claus as well.
