Alrighty then, so how I just do Setup configure, and now Setup sdist, and then I can upload the result to Ha-- oh, don't be silly. That would simply be too easy. ;-)
E:\Haskell\AOC-HalfInteger>runhaskell Setup sdist Building source dist for AOC-HalfInteger-1.0... Preprocessing library AOC-HalfInteger-1.0... Setup: tar is required but it could not be found.

Ah. Apparently it's "fixed": http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/40 Except that it isn't fixed. Yay for me... It seems that GHC provides ar but not tar.
