Comment:

 There are a number of ways to get around this, so choose one?

 - Use patch attachment:0001-timeout-configure-use-cabal-instead-of-Setup-
 for-Win.patch, which substitutes executing 'Setup.exe' to cabal-install.
 - Leave a note either on the windows Preparation wiki or an {{{echo}}} in
 the Makefile to set the PATH such that something other than
 gcc-4.8.1-mingw (the version I faced problems with) will be selected.
 - Leave a note to pass an explicit {{{--with-gcc}}} flag.
