may be unsafe.
* `git annex assistant` has not been tested, is probably quite incomplete
and/or buggy.
-* No XMPP support (needs a lot of C libraries which are available in
- cygwin, but pkg-config does not list them once installed).
* Doesn't daemonize. Maybe use
<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Win32-services>
or perhaps easier,
<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Win32-services-wrapper>
+* XMPP library not yet built.

+ This should work to install the deps, using libs from cygwin
+
+ cabal install libxml-sax --extra-lib-dirs=C:\\cygwin\\lib --extra-include-dirs=C:\\cygwin\\usr\\include\\libxml2
+ cabal install gnuidn --extra-lib-dirs=C:\\cygwin\\lib --extra-include-dirs=C:\\cygwin\\usr\\include\\
+ cabal install gnutls --extra-lib-dirs=C:\\cygwin\\lib --extra-include-dirs=C:\\cygwin\\usr\\include\\
+
+ While the 1st line works, the rest fail oddly. Looks like lack of
+ quoting when cabal runs c2hs and gcc, as "Haskell Platform" is
+ taken as 2 filenames. Needs investigation why this happens here
+ and not other times..
+
+ Also needs gsasl, which is not in cygwin.
