I don't know of any other way either. I just strongly oppose the idea that HP should take on the role of providing C lib bindings just because on some platforms it's hard to satisfy the C dependencies.
those some platfroms are 97% of all dowanloads and success on these platforms is the key to overall Haskell success. moreover, asd i understand the situation, lack of package manager on Windows was main motivation to establish HP - for unicies it's not really required
The motivation was to have a high quality Haskell environment on every system. That the unicies would all agree on what they provide was "Haskell". Fixing up Windows was a nice side effect. -- Don
