I don't understand this. Are you saying it would be too hard for the Haskell Platform maintainers to build the install kits? It seems like bundling gcc would be just the thing to solve all the problems with the XCode dependency (which I'm now told include not just the install-time dependencies, but also the Haskell Platform regularly breaking with every new operating system release). -- Chris Smith
