 On windows, cabal cannot find ld.exe:

 D:\private\haskell\MaybeT-0.1.0>runghc Setup.hs configure -v3
 Configuring MaybeT-0.1.0...
 Creating dist (and its parents)
 C:\ghc\ghc-6.8.1\bin\ghc.exe --numeric-version
 looking for package tool: ghc-pkg near compiler in C:\ghc\ghc-6.8.1\bin
 found package tool in C:\ghc\ghc-6.8.1\bin\ghc-pkg.exe
 C:\ghc\ghc-6.8.1\bin\ghc-pkg.exe --version
 Setup.hs: ld is required but it could not be found.

 On windows, installator of ghc adds only 'ghc\bin' directory to $PATH but
 ld.exe (as well as other gcc tools) is to be found in 'ghc\gcc-lib'. if
 one adds 'ghc\gcc-lib' to $PATH manually then everything works.
