At long last: 2014.2.0.0 Release Candidate 1

[suhorng Y]

Just installed the Windows i386 version. Everything seems working. The regex
test and GLUT test both work. I've also successfully compiled Agda and
Idris.

It's a little sad that GHC on Windows has some sort of locale problem. As
an example,
if I manually install (compile!) cabal-install (1.20, say), then I wouldn't
be able to install
tf-random. The registration process fails with

    Failed to install tf-random-0.5
    cabal.exe: Error: some packages failed to install:
    tf-random-0.5 failed during the final install step. The exception was:
    C:\Users\suhorng\AppData\Local\Temp\pkgConf-tf-random-02992.5:
hGetContents:
    invalid argument (invalid byte sequence)

Anyway, that is not HP's problem. It's awesome to see 2014.2 coming!
