Ah. That explains the size then... Is it safe to install two versions of GHC at once? :-.

Certainly.

...OK...and when you tell GHC to compile something, exactly which compiler does it run? o_O

It picks whichever one you have first on your $(PATH). On linux you can do:
which ghc c:\path\to\ghc
Thanks Neil

...right. Presumably this is isomorphic to "whichever one was installed the most recently"? (Oh, wait... IIRC, on Windoze the GHC installer doesn't actually add GHC to the PATH variable. You have to do it by hand...)

Ah, true...
