No-one ever said it was a _complete_ development environment and that
you'd never need any other libraries, tools, etc.

On http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/contents.html, someone wrote:
The Haskell Platform is a comprehensive, robust development
environment for programming in Haskell. For new users the platform
makes it trivial to get up and running with a full Haskell
development environment

Given

(1) The Haskell platform aims to provide a complete Haskell development
    environment.

(2) A complete Haskell development environment contains a C development
    environment.

I conclude

(3) The Haskell platform aims to provide a C development
    environment.

I have been told that every non-Windows OS comes with a C development environment anyway, so this may be only true on Windows. But on Windows, I think it is true, and the Haskell Platform *for Windows* should contain a C development environment. So how can I help?

Is there a Windows-Haskell-Group promoting and facilitating Haskell on Windows?
