1. The same normalization is needed for other things passed
   to Cabal, such as happy,haddock,alex.

2. The replication cries out for a macro, and indeed there
   already are other cases in aclocal.m4 (search for 'normalized')

3. the aclocal.m4 cases test for 'x${OSTYPE} != xmsys',
   so that should probably hold for the new cases, or the
   new macro, too. But doesn't msys also use a pretend-unix
   file system that Cabal won't understand?

Does this mean that you can only build GHC with Cygwin?  Up to now, MSYS has 
been just fine.
