Summary: Windows build of GHC 6.4 doesn't seem to work on Win98 SE

Initial Comment:
I get the error message "The GHC.EXE file is linked to
missing export SHELL32.DLL:SHGetFolderPathA."

It appears that this function is available in
SHELL32.DLL in Windows 2000 and XP, but not in
Windows95/98/98SE. It is also available in ShFolder.dll
available from 
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=6AE02498-07E9-48F1-A5D6-DBFA18D37E0F
but installing that doesn't help much, as GHC would
need to be relinked.

Probably dynamically linking to (and including)
ShFolder.dll in the case of Win95/98 would work.
