[Haskell-cafe] Hoogle: converting binary .hoo into text?

I would like to use the Hoogle text format in C#. Hoogle on Hackage comes with a bunch of binary *.hoo files. Can these be converted to text/xml? If not, is the binary format documented? I know I can build hoo files using "cabal haddock --hoogle". But doing this on the BASE package (which I need) from Hackage fails (I'm on Windows, using MSYS): configure: creating ./config.status config.status: error: cannot find input file: include/HsBaseConfig.h.in Does anyone have an easy solution? Maybe I just need to switch to Linux to get this working? :-)
