Not at present. It's more difficult to ship it with GHC than it is to build it post-installation, because it is essentially compiled code that depends on an install-time variable. Various hairbrained schemes were proposed on cvs-ghc a while back, but I'm not aware of any easy solutions to this problem. Cheers, Simon

Also, if you're installing with cabal-install then it should be installed for you automatically. Thanks Ian
