The situation seems to be this:
* Sigbjorn is actively maintaining hslibs/win32 for Galois reasons, and
is
reluctant to transfer to libraries/win32 because it's untested (I'm
assuming
that the Green-Card dependency is soluble by putting the GC output
in the CVS tree). Fair enough.
* Alastair believes that lilbraries/win32 should work, but cannot
maintain it.
Fair enough.
* Everyone else would far rather not to have to choose
* The sooner we can dump hslibs/ the better
I'm not sure how to make progress here. Is anyone else interested or
willing to take ownership of libraries/win32? (Graham? Krasimir?)
This isn't a GHC specific thing -- I believe/hope the same libraries
should work equally well for Hugs.

| hslibs/win32 is being kept compilable & working as our partial Win32

near it.
