cabal configure screw-up

[Frederik Eaton]

Thanks.

I guess you could try to parse the "#!" line if MinGW is detected? ...
Anyway, it would seem that support for running "#!" scripts from
Haskell is a problem which is much more general than Cabal and should
be solved more centrally, like in the standard libraries.

Cheers,

Frederik
