[Haskell] Re: ANNOUNCE: GHC version 6.10.3

[Benjamin L.Russell]

What happened to the Windows installation section in the corresponding
User's Guide?  The User's Guide for GHC version 6.10.2 (see
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.10.2/html/users_guide/index.html)
had section 2.2: Installing on Windows (see
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.10.2/html/users_guide/install-windows.html#winfaq),
but this section seems to be missing in the corresponding document for
version 6.10.3 (see
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/index.html).
Not only that, but the entire chapter "2: Installing GHC" seems to be
missing.
