Hi
With Hoogle, I have as one of the lines:
Executable: index.cgi Main-Is: Web.hs Other-Modules: HTML Hs-Source-Dirs: src, src/Web
This generates a file called index.cgi
However, I don't think that install realises this...

Hmm, that's tricky. How do you propose that we solve it? Currently we specify a name without the extension. On windows of course most executables have a .exe extension so we automatically append that. We don't want people to have to say: executable: foo.exe since then it's not portable to non-windows. So how can we infer that no extra .exe extension is required? Is it reasonable to guess that if it already has one '.' in the name that we shouldn't add a .exe extension? Duncan
