I can't get c2hs to build on windows with ghc-6.4.2

I get a little farther, but it still doesn't work:

Actually, c2hs's setup is doing something that only works on unix. In fact it doesn't even always work on unix. For the Gentoo ebuild we changed it because it doesn't work in the context of installing into a temp dir.

A temporary hack is to change the Setup.hs to be just:

import Distribution.Simple main = defaultMain

it means that c2hs's --copy-library feature will not work but everything else should. We'll have to look into doing that in a more portable way.

Actually it turns out the c2hs is doing a lot of things that are not portable to windows. It'll need some effort to fix. Any helpers? Duncan
