On Win 7...

The latest code on github seems to result in a wxWidgets call to LPTSTR WINAPI 
GetCommandLine(void);

This results in popping a dialog complaining about command options. On Linux 
this does not happen. Looks like wxWidgets is trying to use this call to deal 
with unicode, but it unfortunately bypasses the Haskell argument mechanism and 
grabs everything including +/-RTS and passes it to wxWidgets for consideration. 
Perhaps wxHaskell should manage the arguments and strip off any arguments that 
are not destined for wxWidgets, or at least let the Haskell code intercept and 
manage the problem.

Is there some way to effect the wxHaskell initialization so that it prevents 
this call, so that an wxHaskell application running on Windows 7 can accept 
command line arguments properly?

I handling initialization with a start call within Haskell. Perhaps there is an 
alternate approach I am unaware of.

Not knowing the code base, and by searching, it seems it is probably calling 
this wxWidgets code:

static bool
wxMSWEntryCommon(HINSTANCE hInstance, int nCmdShow)
{
    // remember the parameters Windows gave us
    wxSetInstance(hInstance);
#ifdef __WXMSW__
    wxApp::m_nCmdShow = nCmdShow;
#endif

    // parse the command line: we can't use pCmdLine in Unicode build so it is
    // simpler to never use it at all (this also results in a more correct
    // argv[0])

    // break the command line in words
    wxArrayString args;

    const wxChar *cmdLine = ::GetCommandLine();
    if ( cmdLine )
    {
        args = wxCmdLineParser::ConvertStringToArgs(cmdLine);
    }
