OK, thanks for the gentle push. After a bit of digging, I decided that the takusen link looked like a darcs repository, and I downloaded darcs and got takusen. I installed GHC 6.6 in a spare VM (no PC round I can install stuff on just now, I'll do this properly later). On the assumption that the takusen.cabal file means I should look at Cabal, I had a dig and found the incantation "runhaskell setup.hs".
I got the error:
F:\takusen>runhaskell setup.hs
setup.hs:11:7: Could not find module `Distribution.Compat.FilePath': it is hidden (in package Cabal-1.1.6)
'hidden' means that it is installed, but access is forbidden (no, I don't know why the feature exists). To allow access: ghc-pkg expose Cabal (disclaimer: untested command)
