Thank you for the advice - I got libzip compiled using MinGW but now I am struggling to get cabal to find it, it seems that pkg-config can't detect it.  I have it in the default locations: /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib inside the MinGW shell.  

Any suggestions?

I don't seem to be able to find a compiled binary anywhere.  Can anyone
help?

You will have to compile the C package yourself, using MinGW (see the HaskellWiki page for Windows[0]). Start the MinGW shell with command 'sh' and follow the instructions in the file INSTALL.
