659	Cabal doesn't work if account name is changed on Windows.	shelarcy		"Windows can change account name by account management tool. But this causes problem when using Cabal.

{{{
C:\home\working\parsec-3.1.0>runhaskell Setup.hs configure
Configuring parsec-3.1.0...
<command line>: error: directory portion of ""C:\\DOCUME~1\\\144\146\151T\\LOCALS

}}}

This is same as TMP environment value's behavior.

{{{
Prelude System.Directory> getTemporaryDirectory
""C:\\DOCUME~1\\\23815\35029\\LOCALS~1\\Temp\\""
}}}

{{{
Prelude System.Environment> getEnv ""TMP""
""C:\\DOCUME~1\\\144\146\151T\\LOCALS~1\\Temp""
Prelude System.Environment> getEnv ""TEMP""
""C:\\DOCUME~1\\\144\146\151T\\LOCALS~1\\Temp""
}}}

But It seems that Cabal uses getTemporaryDirectory. So, I don't know why Cabal causes this problem."	defect	new	normal		Cabal library	1.8.0.2	normal				unknown	6.12.1	Windows
