Thanks for developing this great tool! I tried to cabal install lhs2tex from the windows 7 cmd and I ran into the following error:

Linking dist\build\lhs2TeX\lhs2TeX.exe ...
Installing executable(s) in C:\Users\haas0118\AppData\Roaming\cabal\bin
initexmf: This utility does not accept non-option arguments.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
lhs2tex-1.17 failed during the final install step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1

I used ghc 7.2, cabal 0.10.2, and miktex 2.9 on windows 7 x64.

A solution to the problem is installing lhs2tex from a msys (mingw) console.

Kind regards, Bas de Haas
