Hi The main thing is to decide where data files associated with a package should be stored. As I understand it, for Hugs on Windows the Haskell modules will be installed to $prefix\Haskell\hugs\programs\progname $prefix\Haskell\hugs\packages\$pkg for executables and libraries

Ah, the answers (except for where Hugs puts program modules) are all in the table in section 3.1.2.1 of the Cabal User's Guide. We just need to adapt prefixFromBinDir for Hugs. (For Hugs, we might as well have prefix-independence under Unix too.) I might have a go at that some time, but

Hi * Depend on win32 - plenty of users won't have this installed (since its no longer bundled by default) It's not? Ok, I'm a bit surprised. MinHugs doesn't have it, the intention is to distribute GHC with less stuff, so I doubt it will be included for much longer by default. * Depend
