Summary: complete failure

Initial Comment:
I have tried to install ghc-4.08.2 under Windows NT
and (as usal with the last few releases) failed.
As noted in the instructions, I have to compile
from the same file system (aka same disk) as ghc
is located on. I get an immediate warning that
DEFAULT_TMPDIR is not set to anything useful.
(Why should it be - I am only instructed to set TMPDIR ?)
Although files will compile they run without producing
any output (even Hello World). By the way,
I note that mingw from Cygwin has no version dated
20001111 but the only version before this January
is listed as 20001225 (yes really Christmas day).
