OK. I'm convinced about the Mac installation situation. Unfortunately, I can't
help with that because I have no software experience with the Mac. Windows
looks more tractable. I will try to use Gtk2hs and (hopefully) wxhaskell on
Windows and report my experiences. If I'm successful I will see wh

I expect it would be different in the way that anything installed as

How would an add-on pack be any different than a package installed from
Hackage?
Why not just package WxHaskell in a way that cabal install WxHaskell is
sufficient?
