Status of ghcup?

[Eternal Recursion]

HI Dominick!

It's been awhile since I discovered the proper incantations on Windoze, but what I remember is that installation went better if I already had Msys pre-installed, and simply told the ghcup installer where to find it (it asks at some point). I also found this helpful:

https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/guide/#troubleshooting

Specifically the section about certificate authority errors. Disabling curl and using wget is what I recall doing.
