No-one ever said it was a _complete_ development environment and that you'd never need any other libraries, tools, etc.
On http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/contents.html, someone wrote:
The Haskell Platform is a comprehensive, robust development environment for programming in Haskell. For new users the platform makes it trivial to get up and running with a full Haskell development environment
Given (1) The Haskell platform aims to provide a complete Haskell development environment. (2) A complete Haskell development environment contains a C development environment. I conclude (3) The Haskell platform aims to provide a C development environment. I have been told that every non-Windows OS comes with a C development environment anyway, so this may be only true on Windows. But on Windows, I think it is true, and the Haskell Platform *for Windows* should contain a C development environment. So how can I help? Joachim Breitner wrote in an otherwise unrelated thread:

Is there a Windows-Haskell-Group promoting and facilitating Haskell on Windows? Tillmann
