Where is Distribution.Compat.FilePath in Cabal-1.1.6?

[Neil Mitchell]

Hi

Why not use my FilePath library,
http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~ndm/projects/libraries.php

Rather than being an internal implementation of detail that got
exposed, this library is nice,  works on Windows in all cases, and I
am still pushing for it to be included in base (expect another push in
about a fortnight). It provides both the functions you are asking for,

Thanks

Neil
