Right, but I was actually talking about the 'build' step, which is a bit funny... For the build step, we have to do preprocessing still, so that the developer or user of VS can use the code.

For the install step, unlike the other systems, we're proposing that we do the preprocessing here rather than at the build step since presumably it would be more convinient to be platform independent at that point?

I'm not sure why this is such a great idea. For each other haskell implementation, once you build, it's tied to the platform, and you no longer need the build tools. Why not do the same thing for hugs?

I think there's been a misunderstanding. At least I was assuming you would do the same thing for Hugs, that is preprocess the sources at build time. I thought this was the plan all along... apologies if I'm the source of the misunderstanding. Cheers, Simon
