RE: version control and LIP

I don't have any opinion about the relative merits of different VC systems (except selfish reluctance to learn a new one) but whatever you choose *must* work flawlessly on Windows as well as Unix. Lots of people use Haskell on Windows machines. With Gour's encouragement I managed to build GHC quite easily using MSYS, a lightweight cousin of Cygwin. When I install the MSYS developer toolkit I get CVS and ssh. I'm certain I don't get arch/darcs etc. It's not a big deal to install something else, but the something else should be guaranteed available for Windows and (strong preference) not require Cygwin.
