But a 'make install' is not so rare if you took the trouble of
installing half a dozen utilities to do a successful 'make'. :-)

Hmmm, I'm not sure how to fix this correctly (probably the 'make
install' logic on WinDoze is simply broken), but a quick workaround
would be a shell script / batch file adding

-Bc:\Programme\cygwin\usr\local\lib\ghc-6.1

to the commandline for ghc.exe and ghci.exe (if your prefix was
/usr/local and your Cygwin is installed in c:\Programme\cygwin).

Cheers,
S.
