well, i scanned a number of libs and apps and found that they all
include only C sources (not counting wxHaskell, which anyway is
distributed in precompiled form). so i'm a bit out of luck: my program
contains huge C++ libs. so i need to include in my program and library
instructions to install C++ compiler. but this depends on the version
of GHC installed. may be you can include such instructions in your
distro? something like it:

"In order to compile C++ files, you nedd to download ... and then
install/unapck it to the $GHC/gcc-lib directory"

btw, i just copied cc1plus.exe to this directory from migw32 3.4.2
installation. is that enough?

and thank you - installer size was really greatly reduced in this
version
