Okay, first steps:
1. A Trac ticket (#1318,
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1318) (is "feature request" a
good category, versus "task"?)
2. A test-case to make sure I don't break anything with existing '-'
syntax. I'm guessing it should go in

I'm replying to a rather old thread here, about unboxing in functions. Duncan
had a continuation monad which passed around some data type that would be nice
to unbox. You discussed strictness annotations in function types as a potential
solution. I have a different tack on the problem which seems
Following the "snapshot distribution" link on GHC's download page yields this

That seems to be a tar bundle for Windows; it's not an msi but if you unpack it
you should be able to run it ju
Mainly this is due to modularity: many of the library packages can be built
entirely separately from GHC, so their configure scripts are designed to be
standalone.
library packages are haskell packages, and much of the configuration data
should be common (plus a few package-specific checks). wou
