GHC on Windows lacks C++ support

In GHC 6.10 support was added to the Windows distribution for building C++. In GHC 6.12 a key library to make this support work was removed, probably be accident.

The missing file is {{C:\ghc\ghc-6.12.1\mingw\lib\libstdc++.a}}, which I have solved by copying the file from {{C:\ghc\ghc-6.10.4\gcc-lib}}. It would be best if the correct file was copied from the right Mingw release.
