I always use MSYS, not Cygwin, when building GHC and Hugs. (MSYS is pretty
slow too--I can build GHC faster in Ubuntu 6.06 in VMWare than I can when
building it using MinGW.) But, I still need Cygwin because the tests require
Cygwin python for some reason.

The tools needed to build GHC, Hugs, and Darcs take about 575MB of disk
space. Cygwin takes

Do you know what tool versions are used for the automated builds?
