But installing it for GHC 6.8.1 is really easy, but you have to install msys/mingw first.
Not keen on installing a Unix emulator just so I can install stuff from Hackage. (Surely this shouldn't be necessary?)
Well, you only have to install msys once, and then life will be just that little bit easier. I have a point of making it part of the standard re-install process for my laptop (which seems to be repaved about twice a year now, for various reasons). There are a few Haskell libraries whose build process assumes a unix-like environment, so sometimes it's just easier to drink the Kool-aid...
