Bug in Cabal?

[Dominic Steinitz]

I couldn't seem to logon to the trac to report this. I'm working on windows 
(not linux as the chmod might suggest).

Cabal seesm to create certain things as read only. I can work around this by

chmod a+w ..\ThirdParty\haskell_packages\zlib-0.5.0.0\ghc-6.10.1\include\*

chmod a+w ..\ThirdParty\haskell_packages\doc\zlib-0.5.0.0\*

rm ..\ThirdParty\haskell_packages\doc\zlib-0.5.0.0\*

I suspect most people haven't tripped over this as once something is installed 
they don't tend to install it again.
