Comment:

 It looks like we need to merge
 {{{
 [fix 'clean' bug on windows caused by leaked Handle.
 Andrea Vezzosi <sanzhiyan at gmail.com>**20080318161237
  Using readFile to read dist/setup-config keeps the Handle open when we
 try to delete the file, causing an error.
  So we instead read the file strictly and close the Handle early.
 }}}
 but I'm not sure which Cabal repo it should be merged into. Duncan?
