[Haskell-cafe] Template Haskell attempts to load mingw32.dll during build

[Darren Grant]

As a followup, this is an old GHCi bug:

https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3242?cversion=0&cnum_hist=29

I'm not sure if anyone else has made headway here, but I'll see if I can
patch the GHC loader for mingw.

Cheers,
Darren

Hi,

This is a bit different. The SDL dependencies are configured correctly and
I can link against standard Haskell programs, but a TH build phase fails.

Cheers,
Darren
