I don't understand why 60% of the packages on the Haskell package site 
use bash scripts as part of their installation process. (As you can 
probably anticipate, this means that you can't install those on 
Windoze.) It's actually rather annoying... We develop a powerful 
cross-platform high-level programming langauge, and people insist on 
using bash scripts. Gah! >_<
