 The time library got unbundled from GHC 6.10.2. Windows users who don't
 have Cygwin installed can't build the time library from Hackage. The end
 result is that an important and widely used library doesn't work with GHC
 6.10.2. For many Windows users this will be a severe regression.

 There are two solutions: 1) Fix the time package so it doesn't depend on
 {{{sh}}}; 2) Bundle time with GHC.
