If I do the "setup configure" ... "setup install" in the Cabal directory I get a new Cabal (1.1.5.9.2) but that chrases like the one created with another cabal if used on a new Setup.lhs (in my case comlib or cabal). Why do you create the setup.exe? Can I always do "ghc --make -cpp Setup -o {libName}.exe"? Or can I copy the setup.exe (as cabalSetup.exe) in my PATH and use this?
