We would love for Windows to be one of the platforms, but currently we can't do it on Windows. So unless that changes, Windows will not be one of the platforms, correct.
So if I understand correctly, the problem here arises because you can't import from a DLL by *absolute path* but only by *relative path*? The tragedy here is that the Windows loader actually supports loading from absolute paths natively, as an undocumented feature. If you build a EXE and then hexedit the references to "library.dll" to absolute paths "C:\library.dll" then your EXE will run completely correctly. I'm not sure how to convince GNU ld to link us such a DLL, though. It might be possible to hack it in by linking against "verylongdummydllname.dll" and then having GHC search for that string in DLL/EXE returned by LD and replace it by the null-terminated absolute path.
