-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 HaskellPlatform-2012.4.0.0-setup.exe is very slow at adding things to
 PATH.  It seemed to take it about 10-15 minutes to add about 5 things to
 PATH.*  What is it doing?  It did not seem to be using an unusually high
 amount of CPU or RAM during this time, though I wasn't watching carefully.
 If this behavior is expected, it would be nice if "Show Details" gave a
 more detailed explanation of what it's doing when adding things to path,
 so I don't worry that it's frozen or having problems.

 *My PATH, after installation, is `C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
