Thanks.
The need I had for these is no longer current, but sometime I'll try
an experiment and see how easy it is, on a relatively clean Windows
box with just GHC installed, to grab and use these libraries. (Side
note: with Python, I'm used to 3rd party modules being available as
Windows installer packages - does the concept of an installable binary
for something like MissingH, which I can just install and use, make
sense for a compiled language like Haskell? The build, find I'm
missing a C library, get it, compile it, fix bugs, try again cycle I
used to hit before Python Windows installers became common isn't
something I'd like to repeat...)
As I mentioned in passing, it may well be that the library issue with
Haskell is more of a perception (or maybe organisational) issue than a
technical one...
