Re: RFC: include a cabal-install executable in future GHC releases

Thanks. Between you and Mikhail we got the Windows side covered. :)

Hi!
I put a Windows build here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/at7wc1dh0lfr7lc/cabal.exe.zip

: I just uploaded 1.20.0.1 so there's only an OS X binary so far. I'm
waiting for someone to send me a Windows one.

I think there's now hosted official cabal install binaries online. I'm Afk but they should be a short google away. Should be linked more prominently though

1. Download, unpack and install GHC.
2. Download and unpack cabal-install, and run bootstrap.sh. As part of the bootstrap, it will download and build a bunch of packages.
3. Delete the downloaded packages ("rm -rf ~/.ghc/*") because they were built without profiling or documentation.
4. Call "cabal update" to get a default .cabal/config file.
5. Edit .cabal/config to switch on library-profiling, executable-profiling, and documentation.
6. Build my stuff.
This would be much simplified if binary versions of cabal-install were available. (It would be even simpler if they were just included in the GHC builds -- I could eliminate 2 & 3.)
