It's not deliberate.  It shouldn't be too difficult to revise make
bindist to also include the new purely cabalised wxcore.

One thing we could consider doing is shipping a .pc file for wxc

Cabal has support for it, so we could get the wxcore cabal file to
require the wxc with the pkgconfig-depends flag

Do you have a clear picture what needs to be done?  I don't really.
