Since I cannot build Data.FastPackedString on Windows (ghc crashes) and it's the only library I really depend on, would someone have a pre-built version or let me know how I can build it without Cabal?

A workaround for that crashing problem is to compile the Setup.lhs script using GHC first, and then run it: $ ghc --make Setup.lhs -o setup $ ./setup configure etc.

On a related note, Haskell tools for Windows (happy, alex) come with extra files (templates). Where are these to be placed?

On Windows, they are placed in the same folder as the executable. Cheers, Simon
