Well, you only have to install msys once, and then life will be just
that little bit easier. I have a point of making it part of the standard
re-install process for my laptop (which seems to be repaved about twice
a year now, for various reasons).
There are a few Haskell libraries whose build process assumes a
unix-like environment, so sometimes it's just easier to drink the
Kool-aid...
