This will allow porting it to Windows, which cannot set environment except
when forking processes.
This is nasty, but HUnit can only test the IO monad, so
I cannot use a Reader monad.
That's needed in files used to build the configure program.
For the other files, I'm keeping my __WINDOWS__ define, as I find that much easier to type.
I may search and replace it to use the mingw32_HOST_OS thing later.
Unless highRandomQuality=false (or --fast) is set, use Libgcypt's
'GCRY_VERY_STRONG_RANDOM' level by default for cipher generation, like
it's done for OpenPGP key generation.
On the assistant side, the random quality is left to the old (lower)
level, in order not to scare the user with an enless page load due to
the blocking PRNG waiting for IO actions.
I have seen some other programs do this, and think it's pretty cool. Means
you can test wherever it's deployed, as well as at build time.
My other reason for doing it is less happy. Cabal's handling of test suites
sucks, requiring duplicated info, and even when that's done, it fails to
preprocess hsc files here. Building it in avoids that and avoids having
to explicitly tell cabal to enable test suites, which would then make it
link the test executable every time, which is unnecessarily slow.
This also has the benefit that now "make fast test" does a max speed build
and tests it.
