Why this changes doesn't care about "make bindist"? Windows user doesn't have unix shell (e.g. msys or cygwin) in default. And current Cabal doesn't care about installing C library binary before building Haskell project. So, breaking binary distribution causes serious problem. You can see this problem following thread. http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/hopengl/2009-March/000795.html http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2009-April/011493.html > So what this patch bundle aims to do is to move us in the direction of only > using the configure and make stuff to build wxc, install wxc and generate the > wxcore Haskell files with wxdirect. > > I don't know yet if this is the right way to about things.

But that is not good for all Windows users. I think we must modify your patch to support binary distribution.
