Hi all,

The second build of the OSX installer is now available for limited
testing:

http://gregorycollins.net/static/haskell/haskell-platform-2009.2.0.1-alpha2.pkg

Apparently this one actually works. Big thanks to Simon Michael for
helping me debug the installer issue -- haddock depends on ghc-paths,
which wasn't in the haskell-platform.cabal list. I ended up just
removing haddock from the installer since it's included with GHC.

A before-and-after from Simon on a fresh GHC install:

If nobody finds any issues with this version of the installer, I'll
bundle up a .dmg file for release.

G.
