Having installed darcs and beaten our proxy to allow darcs to "get", I 
installed the patched 1.6 version and all seems to work.

>ls -ltr haskell_packages\doc\zlib-0.5.0.0
total 2

I had to make the following change in CopyFile.hs before it would compile so 
maybe it needs a further slight tweak?

setFileOrdinary   = return ()
setFileExecutable = return ()

to

setFileOrdinary   _ = return ()
setFileExecutable _ = return ()

Many thanks for your help, Dominic.
