Right, we don't support tools being in paths containing spaces, and we

wouldn't it be good practice, then, for cabal not to install things
there by default? alternatively, tools needed for ghc builds, such as
alex and happy, ought to change the default location or, at least,
give a warning that the default install will be unusable.
also, alex 2.0.1 was the version i had installed before, and i was
told that caused the utf8* test failures, so it can't really be what
configure should check for.
The tests only fail because an error message has changed. For just
building a working compiler 2.0.1 is fine.
i thought the goal was to have error-free 'fast stage=2' tests?
