None, I don't have it installed. I took the binaries straight from the
GHC 6.6.1 .tar.bz on haskell.org, I guess Ian would know how they
build that.

As before, its not something I have any power over.

I'll add that, its not overly hard, but I want something functional,
robust and now. For the next version you'll have options over what to
install.

Thanks
