For the 2012.4.0.0 release I'll be including opt and llc with the Windows installer. I was able to compile a helloworld program with -fllvm that way. Please tell me if...

if you're using cygwin's bash (actually, a slight variation should work with unix/bash as well), you can do something like the following in your `~/.bashrc` (might need tweaking, this version...

By the nature of ghc-paths (capture the GHC installation paths in a Haskell module), you cannot bundle an installed version. That doesn't mean you couldn't install a bundled version, though!-)...

It would be a bit more tricky than just calling cabal install (we can't assume a working Internet connection), but doable. More serious problem with ghc-paths in its current form...

A better idea is to just ship MSYS and put a shortcut to it from the program menu. This will provide an environment in which the user can build libraries...

Doesn't this already work on Unix-likes? The package.conf file is by default stored under $HOME/.ghc on these systems, and cabal-install installs to $HOME/.cabal, so the newly-installed GHC should pick up...
