Comment:
I don't think we have a good enough understanding of the problem at the
moment so I'm punting this to the next milestone.
It is clear that when copying files we do not copy permissions. That is
good. What is not clear is if the files we copy into the target directory
get created with non-default permissions for the directory or if it is the
default permissions for the directory which are wrong.
In the former case something weird is going on and in the latter case we
should work out if it's Cabal that creates the Haskell directory and if
so, if the inherited permissions are appropriate. That is, if (as admin)
one makes a directory under Program Files then are the default/inherited
permissions such that files created in that new dir are readable by
everyone or members of the users group.
