+Thanks for working on this!
+
+It's entirely possible that the quickcheck tests happen to generate
+better test data under the new ghc, and have found an actual bug.
+I doubt that it's related to your changes.
+
+I do need git-annex to remain buildable on OSX and Windows. What basically
+needs to be done is, instead of sed-ing those files out of the cabal file,
+make the cabal file say "if os(windows)" to conditionally include the
+modules that only work on one OS.
