Hmm, do we really have to ship MSYS bits with GHC too? I'd really like
to avoid doing this if possible. This is just for Perl, right? Why
can't we carry on using a mingw build of Perl?
The perl we're using is the only one I could see on
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/
It's possible there's one in another tarball, but if so I don't know how
to find it short of downloading and unpacking them all. Also, I'd be
surprised if the tarball contents overlapped.
Why not just use the Perl that we shipped with GHC in the past? I don't
know where it originally came from, but I think we've been using the
same binary for years now, with each new distribution copying it out of
the previous one :)
Cheers,
Simon
