989	"Windows ""native"" port"	simonmar		"Create a Windows ""native"" port of GHC, i.e. one that uses the Microsoft toolchain instead of GCC and the GNU binutils.  The main tasks are:

 * Convert the pretty printer in the i386 NCG to generate MS/Intel syntax
   instead of AT&T syntax.  We can then generate assembly code that MASM can
   grok.

 * Make the RTS compile with Microsoft's CL compiler.  (this has been done in
   the past, so shouldn't be too much work).

 * Drop any dependencies on mingw32 functionality in the libraries.

 * Make appropriate modifications to the driver, build system etc.  We'd still
   need Cygwin/MSYS for build tools (dropping dependency on GNU make is another task
   entirely...)"	task	new	normal	_|_	Compiler				ndmitchell@… fryguybob@… dterei dagitj@… idhameed@…	Windows	x86	None/Unknown	Difficult (2-5 days)	N/A
