Define "development environment".

I don't think this is a logical premise.

In a sense, I wish there were: too often it seems that Windows users
complain about X either not working or not being available on Windows
(where X is some Haskell library/application/etc.).  Maybe if there was
a semi-official Windows-Haskell group of "package maintainers", this
kind of stuff could be alleviated (through the use of testing, creating
installers, etc.).  The same goes with Mac OSX.
