What happened to the Windows installation section in the corresponding User's Guide? The User's Guide for GHC version 6.10.2 (see http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.10.2/html/users_guide/index.html) had section 2.2: Installing on Windows (see http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.10.2/html/users_guide/install-windows.html#winfaq), but this section seems to be missing in the corresponding document for version 6.10.3 (see http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/index.html). Not only that, but the entire chapter "2: Installing GHC" seems to be missing.
