Yes, cut'n'paste error.

I've pushed the current Setup and .cabal to our repo. You can say:
  darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/takusen

Then do this:
  ghc --make Setup
  setup configure -fodbc -fsqlite -fpostgres
    (note that you need to have these backends on your path; perhaps
just -fodbc -fsqlite for you?)
  setup register --gen-pkg-config

I've just done this. Takusen.buildinfo contains:

extra-libraries: odbc32 pq sqlite3
extra-lib-dirs: "C:\\Program Files\\sqlite3\\"
                C:/PROGRA~1/POSTGR~1/8.1/lib
includes:
install-includes:
include-dirs: "C:\\Program Files\\sqlite3\\"
              C:/PROGRA~1/POSTGR~1/8.1/include
              C:/PROGRA~1/POSTGR~1/8.1/include/server


but Takusen-0.8.2.conf has:

import-dirs: "C:\\Program Files\\Haskell\\Takusen-0.8.2\\ghc-6.8.1"
library-dirs: "C:\\Program Files\\Haskell\\Takusen-0.8.2\\ghc-6.8.1"
hs-libraries: HSTakusen-0.8.2
extra-libraries: odbc32 pq sqlite3
extra-ghci-libraries:
include-dirs:
