Right, so, let me make sure I understand this...

Hi
GHC doesn't bundle with cabal-install on any system.
What is needed is not for the GHC team to be doing Windows platform
packages, but for the Windows Haskell devs to build their own system, as
happens on all the Unices.
Take GHC's release, wrap it up with native installers, throw in

Isn't the Haskell Platform going to do all this? Shouldn't
interested people just help out there?

Hi
So actually just having more Windows users subscribed to cabal-devel and
commenting on tickets would be very useful, even if you do not have much
time for hacking.
I believe that as soon as a Windows user starts doing that you'll
start asking them for patches :-)

The nix package manager (although beeing primarly a linux tool) can run
on cygwin as well (at least it did some time ago)..
I'd suggest trying that to package windows libraries. It dose generate
tag files for you automatically as

That certainly describes me. I find the platform annoying and stressful
(all the worries about security).
But another issue is: it's proprietary and expensive.
The base OS isn't cheap, and doesn't even
