Have you tried using the hugs-package command in a shell window?
    hugs-package HaXml-1.12/src

If it doesn't work due to cpp #ifdefs in the HaXml code, then you could
download cpphs from
    http://haskell.org/cpphs
and do something like

    cpphs.bat contains:
        runhugs cpphs/Main.hs -D__HUGS__ -D__HASKELL98__ "%1" -O "%2"

    install.bat contains:
        set CPPHS=cpphs.bat
        rem    A very long line (500-600 chars) follows here.
        rem    It should not need changing.
        set SRCS=Text/XML/HaXml.hs Text/XML/HaXml/Combinators.hs Text/XML/HaXml/Lex.hs Text/XML/HaXml/Parse.hs Text/XML/HaXml/Pretty.hs Text/XML/HaXml/Types.hs Text/XML/HaXml/Validate.hs Text/XML/HaXml/Wrappers.hs Text/XML/HaXml/OneOfN.hs Text/XML/HaXml/Xml2Haskell.hs Text/XML/HaXml/Haskell2Xml.hs Text/XML/HaXml/Verbatim.hs Text/XML/HaXml/Escape.hs Text/XML/HaXml/Html/Generate.hs Text/XML/HaXml/Html/Parse.hs Text/XML/HaXml/Html/Pretty.hs Text/XML/HaXml/Xtract/Combinators.hs Text/XML/HaXml/Xtract/Lex.hs Text/XML/HaXml/Xtract/Parse.hs Text/ParserCombinators/HuttonMeijerWallace.hs

        for %%F in ( %SRCS% ) do COPY src/%%F src/%%F.cpp
        for %%F in ( %SRCS% ) do %CPPHS% src/%%F.cpp src/%%F
        hugs-package src

The syntax of the DOS command script might need some tweaking, but
hopefully you get the general idea.
