Afraid I have to disappoint you (again :-( ) wrt OpenAL/ALUT. A bit too late, but _if_ there's a wider agreement that including a package such as this would be generally useful, I'd be happy to do something about it the next time around.
cabal-get + hackage.haskell.org really ought to be the distribution channel for not-quite(-yet?)-mainstream packages though.
That would be fine for pure Haskell packages (when hackage is ready), but Cabal can't handle packages that require non-trivial configuration (like OpenAL and ALUT) on Windows without MSYS.
If people are interested I have NSIS scripts that make it trivial to create windows binary installers for many Haskell packages (for GHC). I would be interested in creating a repository of windows binary packages but I lack the space for hosting such a thing. - Einar Karttunen
