#123: Haskell Platform 2010.1.0.0 platform does not include C++ support

Unable to cabal install wx (wxHaskell installation) on 2010.1.0.0 Haskell
Platform (this has succeeded on previous versions of HP).
Analysis showed error compiling the wrapper around C++ code in wxWidgets,
due to cabal unable to find cc1plus.exe.
This is blocking for anyone trying to compile C++ code via Cabal
installers on Windows using the latest HP, and breaks wxHaskell
installation on Windows using Haskell Platform.
Attached reply from Neil Mitchell to mail on haskell mailing list:
>>> On checking, Haskell
Platform\2010.1.0.0\mingw\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5
