link-time error: unrecognized escape sequence

[Conal Elliott]

I get the following error while linking haddock.ghc using the snapshot
ghc-6.7.20070824-i386-unknown-mingw32.exe .
    ...
    [17 of 17] Compiling Main             ( src/Main.hs,
dist\build\haddock\haddock-tmp/Main.o )
    Linking dist\build\haddock\haddock.exe ...
    c:/tmp/ghc2268_0/ghc2268_0.rc:1: unrecognized escape sequence
    c:/tmp/ghc2268_0/ghc2268_0.rc:1: unrecognized escape sequence
    c:\ghc\ghc-6.7.20070824\bin/windres: can't open font file
`disuild\haddock\haddock.exe.manifest': Invalid argument

I don't know what was in c:/tmp/ghc2268_0/ghc2268_0.rc.  It was gone before
I could look.  Strange name "disuild", which maybe is supposed to be
"dist\build".  I wonder if the "\b" is getting interpreted as a backspace.
There is a "dist/build/Haddock/haddock.exe.manifest".
