Think of an anemometer (with 4 cups twirling around).
These windmills don't have to be marvels of efficiency, they merely have to save effort over hand milling.

How does this follow? You don't build granaries or stables.

I agree they probably aren't the first thing you build when you colonize a haunted land... Unfortunately, they weren't among the images of prosperity that came to mind, so we didn't get to definitively end the debate before it started.
