Thanks. I guess you could try to parse the "#!" line if MinGW is detected? ... Anyway, it would seem that support for running "#!" scripts from Haskell is a problem which is much more general than Cabal and should be solved more centrally, like in the standard libraries.

I'm experiencing the following problem. I'm trying to use a 'configure' script which is not a 'sh' script, but Cabal assumes that all 'configure' scripts are 'sh' scripts regardless of what '#!' line they start with. Isaac says this is your doing. What is the reason for it?
It's a kludge to make this work under MinGW, where #! isn't available for programs invoked from Haskell. I've now changed it to use sh only under MinGW, though this isn't a perfect solution.
