-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 The Haskell platform installer for Microsoft Windows should be digitally
 signed using a certificate from a reputed certificate organization
 (Verisign, entrust etc.) The mozilla firefox is signed this way. Any
 software distributed through internet is signed this way to avoid
 modification  by replacement by an intermediary.

 If it is not possible to sign the platform installer then publish the md5
 checksum along with the link to download platform installer. (However,
 windows users are slightly less used to this approach.)
