I have built an installer for the binary package produced by the GHC
Team, including whatever they included, and excluding whatever they
excluded. If the GHC Team change their build so these are built, I
will happily include whatever they tell me.

There is already a silent install mode, /SILENT or /VERYSILENT do
something - but I have no idea what. Is that what you meant by
Installation Mode?

As before, what goes in the package is someone elses choice. This
installer is intended as something quick to get a working installer
out the door. I'd like to think about beefing it up, offering extra
options (possibly C++ support) in the next version (i.e. 6.8, 6.6.2)

I'm still not entirely sure what you mean by this?

Thanks
