New InstallShield: GHCi 5.01 "Borag Thungg"

I've updated the test Windows InstallShield of GHCi 5.01 available from http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/5.00.2/ghc-5-01.exe (There's no link to it on the web site) In case you missed the previous announcement, this is a test release, but seems fairly stable (I use it all the time). It has the following features: * GHCi: now you can use GHC interpretively under Windows. You can just run the InstallShield, and double-click on GHCi to get going. * Complete install: everything you need to use GHC is included; Cygwin is no longer required; also, unlike recent 4.08.2 releases, it doesn't interfere with any Cygwin installation you may already have Changes from the previous test release, "Zarjaz": * Now installs in Program Files by default (supports paths containing spaces). * Installs the profiling libraries and imports (the previous test release included them, but for mysterious reasons they weren't actually installed). Also note that as one user found, the supplied gcc doesn't like identifiers containing top-bit-set characters, so if you want to use them you must use the native code generator.
