Unfortunately no, as I don't have an appropriate distribution site and I'm
unable to devote the time necessary to properly support a stream of bug
reports on the multiplicity of programs present in the resulting package.

(In fact I am not even testing the results of these builds myself at the
moment due to other commitments - just gradually refining the build system
in the hope that I can get back to it sometime in the next few months.)

However, if someone has a distribution site to which I could upload I would
be more than happy to do so whenever I do a run.

Bear in mind that the distribution is not a nifty executable installer like
the standard Windows GHC distribution; it is just a zip file to which you
direct your PATH variable in the usual manner.  Other than that, and the
additional utilities, it is the same as the standard Windows installed GHC
system.

Cheers

Mike Thomas
