building ghc from source

What makes win32 special over all the other libraries that the library 
initiative should be producing?  If there is a major inconvenience in 
separating win32 from ghc, that same inconvenience applies to other libraries 
and should be fixed.

ps Could you make a binary of the ghc-6.x compiler for win32 available ahead 
of the release?  I can't build ghc on my rather puny laptop (my only windows 
box) so I can't test anything which uses ForeignPtrs (whose API changed).
