MSYS build - stage 2 problem

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

OK, so I think the easiest way forward is for me to try to reproduce
your entire msys setup.

I've installed the download you point to below.  Please send your
configure patch.

I got stuck immediately: msys has no cvs.  So how do I check out a tree?
Install cygwin perhaps???!

| You're definitely not stupid. MSYS uses (requires) POSIX path and
that's why I

| Please, try download MSYS (it's 2.5MB file) and try to build ghc with
it.

| 
| If you like, I can send you my small 'patch' to prepare proper
"configure".
