If you want the platform, I'd go with the pkg installer on the site, but I usually bootstrap the bindist from here.[1] I configure it to be in its own prefix in my home directory and to use the GMP from homebrew. If you'd like to go that way, let me know and I'll see if I can dig up the proper methods to get the newest cabal-install, as well. A few configs need fiddling, but other than that it's painless.

Thanks for that--I'm trying the .pkg install now and will avoid
Homebrew for GHC/platform until those versions have settled down.  Any
other installation hints you've developed would be useful too!
