#165: Unclear state of MinGW+MSYS in relation to Haskell Platform
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
The haskell platform 2010 as well as 2011 comes with MinGW+MSYS, as far as
I can tell. However, when I had freshly installed the HP 2011.2.0.0, the
first thing I did is build my project with it. I was able to do so with
version 2010.2.0.0, but not any more. I get the following message:
cabal: The package has a './configure' script. This requires a Unix
compatibility toolchain such as MinGW+MSYS or Cygwin.
I am pretty sure I didn't have to install MinGW+MSYS myself in the
previous version, and it didn't complain. Of course, I could install MinGW
myself, but if that is required, what is the use of having it as a
component of the platform?
