DynamicByDefault

@@ -13 +13 @@
 
 Given these 2 issues, we think that if making GHCi use dynamic libraries, we should also make ghc compile the "dynamic way" by default.
+
+== Current status ==
+
+We have everything working, although currently disabled, for all platforms other than Windows in GHC HEAD. We have tested it on Linux/x86_64, Linux/x86, OSX/x86_64, OSX/x86 and Linux/s390(unregisterised). To enable it, set `DYNAMIC_BY_DEFAULT = YES` in `mk/build.mk` or `mk/validate.mk` as appropriate.
+
+== Windows ==
+
+Currently, we don't know how to do dynamic-by-default on Windows in a satisfactory way. We can build dynamic libraries, but we don't have a way of telling them where to find their DLLs.
+
+We are not currently working on this, but if anyone is interested in rolling up their sleeves then we would be very grateful! We have some [wiki:DynamicByDefault/Windows more details] on the problem, and how it might be solvable.
