What makes win32 special over all the other libraries that the library
initiative should be producing? If there is a major inconvenience in
separating win32 from ghc, that same inconvenience applies to other libraries
and should be fixed.

ps Could you make a binary of the ghc-6.x compiler for win32 available ahead
of the release? I can't build ghc on my rather puny laptop (my only windows
box) so I can't test anything which uses ForeignPtrs (whose API changed).
