Cannot install Skein on Windows #24

Description

@mantkiew

Using Haskell Platform 2013.2.0.0, GHC7.6.3, and cabal 1.18.

(this is referred to from snap-core). Skein is required by Snap. After cabal install snap, I am getting

$ cabal install snap
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring skein-1.0.9...
cabal.exe: Missing dependency on a foreign library:
* Missing (or bad) header file: skein.h
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
If the header file does exist, it may contain errors that are caught by the C
compiler at the preprocessing stage. In this case you can re-run configure
with the verbosity flag -v3 to see the error messages.
Failed to install skein-1.0.9
cabal.exe: Error: some packages failed to install:
clientsession-0.9.0.3 depends on skein-1.0.9 which failed to install.
skein-1.0.9 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
snap-0.13.2.4 depends on skein-1.0.9 which failed to install.

There are no installation instructions for Windows on Skein.
