Er, yes.  (I did the original version of that batch file, which was pretty 
primitive, and only intended for GHC.)  For use with Hugs, I just copy the 
files into an appropriate directory and make sure Hugs can see that directory:

Here's an example of a batch file I use to run Hugs (not WinHugs, but a 
similar idea should work, I think) with access to the HaXml code:

[[
rem Use Hugs version compiled with Unicode support

set HUGS=C:\DEV\Hugs98\hugs-20040109.exe
set LIBS=D:\Cvs\DEV\HaskellUtils\HaXml-1.12\src

%HUGS% -P"%LIBS%;" %1

PAUSE
]]

Ah, looking at that, I recall that HaXml needs Unicode support (or maybe 
it's just my modified version of HaXml), which isn't standard in the 
Nov-2003 release of Hugs for Windows.  I've built versions of Hugs and 
RunHugs (but unfortunately not WinHugs) with Unicode support (you also need 
to use a later prelude.hs file), available via:
   http://www.ninebynine.org/Software/FatHugs.html

(I think that's the right URI;  I can't get to the server right now to 
confirm what's actually there.)
