#1196: Cabal on Windows doesn't like the in-place GHCs
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
    Reporter:  igloo     |       Owner:         
        Type:  bug       |      Status:  new    
    Priority:  normal    |   Milestone:  _|_    
   Component:  Compiler  |     Version:  6.6    
    Severity:  normal    |    Keywords:         
  Difficulty:  Unknown   |    Testcase:  cabal01
Architecture:  Unknown   |          Os:  Windows
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
From e.g. a cmd prompt, Windows doesn't like the in-place GHCs:
 {{{
 C:\>C:\cygwin\home\ian\ghc\6.6-branch\build\compiler\stage2\ghc-inplace
 'C:\cygwin\home\ian\ghc\6.6-branch\build\compiler\stage2\ghc-inplace' is
 not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or
 batch file.

 C:\>cat C:\cygwin\home\ian\ghc\6.6-branch\build\compiler\stage2\ghc-
 inplace
 #!/bin/sh
 exec C:/cygwin/home/ian/ghc/6.6-branch/build/compiler/stage2/ghc
 -BC:\\\\cygwin\\\\home\\\\ian\\\\ghc\\\\6.6-branch\\\\build "$@"
 }}}
 which means the cabal01 test fails thus:
 {{{
 $ ./setup configure --prefix=`pwd`/install --with-
 compiler=C:/cygwin/home/ian/ghc/6.6-branch/build/compiler/stage1/ghc-
 inplace --with-hc-pkg=../../../../../utils/ghc-pkg/ghc-pkg-inplace
 --enable-library-profiling

 }}}
 (the odd output order is due to buffering)
