Comment:
This is a known issue. It is not a good idea to just silently put
glut32.dll into
$WINDIR/system32; what the installer can do is check if glut32.dll is
available
system-wide and, if negative, offer the user to install it. We can also
install
glut32.dll in e.g. $PLATFORMDIR/glut.

This needs changes in Cabal/cabal-install, i.e. not an installer issue.
