Hi Bjorn,
After going through pain with dependancy hell (like .dll hell, but cross platform) I finally got cabal-install to build.
The list command looked most interesting, but:
D:\sources\contrib\Cabal\cabal-install>cabal-install list configure: searching for ghc in path. configure: found ghc at C:\ghc\ghc-6.4.2\bin\ghc.exe "C:\ghc\ghc-6.4.2\bin\ghc.exe" --numeric-version >tmp2296 configure: looking for package tool: ghc-pkg near compiler in C:\ghc \ghc-6.4.2\b in configure: found package tool in C:\ghc\ghc-6.4.2\bin\ghc-pkg.exe cabal-install: No valid config dir found!
cabal-install emit also gives the same error.
Ah, Windows. I meant to ask you to test cabal-install on Windows at

for /etc/cabal-install, which you probably don't have. I should set
up GHC in my Windows VM and get it working. You could try --config-
dir=
