Great.  I think the latest version can always be retrieved with

  wget http://code.haskell.org/GenI/Setup.hs

I sure wouldn't mind seeing some sort of Distribution.MacOSX module (or
whatever) being distributed on hackage.  I wonder if that would work
well with cabal-install, specifying something like appbundle == 0.1.* in
our Cabal files and having Setup.hs itself import a module from that
package.  It may be a good idea to follow up on this with the Cabal
folks...
