ghc-6.12.1 didn't include cc1plus.exe or libstdc++.a. The lack of
libstdc++.a caused a failure in something I was building, so I raised
a bug and it's now included in 6.12.2. I didn't explicitly compile any
C++ code, so it's possible that still doesn't work.

It wasn't a policy decision, merely an accident, and I'm sure if you
alert people it will be rectified (since otherwise it's a regression).

Thanks, Neil
