[Haskell-cafe] stack on Windows and C Preprocessor

[Jeremy O'Donoghue]

C preprocessor on Windows expects \n\r as line ending, so what you think is a line break is being treated as a single line by CPP.

Run your file through a unix to dos file tool or configure your version control system to retrieve files in local format.
