 When running the testsuite, it gets stuck at {{{Configuring
 timeout-1...}}}. I tried adding a verbosity flag to the ENV vars, but they
 didn't make any affect on the {{{./Setup}}} args.

 Relating to my development setup...I've followed the instructions from
 http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Preparation/Windows (using
 MinGW). I was rather surprised when I was building GHC, it threw an error
 saying that "libmpfr-3.dll" was missing, so I fetched that from a cygwin
 mirror and threw it in {{{msys/bin}}}, but even after doing that, I got
 errors saying that it could find certain cygwin libraries
 ({{{cyg*.dll}}}). So I just installed the entirety of cygwin and it
 started working fine.

 The only ticket I found that is related to this is #1599, but I'm not
 sure.

 Here's the testsuite run:

 Looks like you don't have timeout, building it first...
