since I was among those who asked for more frequent windows binaries, I thought I should have a go at this (on windows 98). I found two problems so far (both not new), but otherwise it looks okay.
In my attempt to build ghc-6.2.1 from source in MSYS/MinGW environment, I've encountered a problem that ghc does not 'play' nicely with pthreads library (available at http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/). pthread.h is recognized, but during the build time, there are syntax errors and I had to remove pthread.h from the path (unfortunately it does not solve a problem of the whole build). otoh, darcs uses pthread library without any problem.
