When developing in Windows, it is very common to require many more tools
 than what's available with GHC.  I have myself used
  * strip
  * nm
  * reimp
  * dlltool
  * pexport
  * windres

 Also, when installing libraries/headers for mingw/msys and are going to
 use them with GHC, the only way to get them linked is to copy them to GHC
 installation as well.  So, I'd really like if I could tell GHC via flag or
 preferably via configuration file.  But GHC would probably need to
 organize the includes and archives differently than it does now.

 Configuring via files would also allow Cabal to make use of these tools
 without much extra fiddling.
