Network.Socket on win32

[haskell at alexjacobson.com]

Yup that worked.  Sort of an obscure error message
to communicate "package not found"....

Is there a convention so I know which package I
need for which module?  My guess is sometimes (but
randomly) you need to add a package
on the command line corresponding to the first
part of the qualified module name.  e.g. I just
figured out that

-package text worked to get me Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec

OTOH, if this is the rule, it seems strange that
GHC can't go and find the packages itself.
