Comment (by simonmar):

 Yes, I got halfway to fixing this and didn't finish it.  Basically I was
 planning to do away with the ghc-inplace scripts on Windows, and instead
 have the GHC binary figure out whether it was in a build tree or not by
 inspecting the binary pathname.

 ghc-inplace causes problems for the testsuite driver too, IIRC.

 Unfortunately similar changes would also be required to ghc-pkg (doing
 away with ghc-pkg-inplace on Windows), since there's no way to pass extra
 arguments to ghc-pkg via Cabal (perhaps there should be?).

 Better ideas welcome...
