I agree with Brian and Eric on this and no-one else has commented, so
I have committed the updates to the darcs repo. I've pulled a clean
build and it functions just as expected, but...

While the darcs repo is now in order (with a version bump to 0.12.1.1
to signify that we are fully cabalized), I'm failing to create a cabal
sdist package for wxcore.

The error is:

$ WXWIN=/c/utils/wxWidgets-2.8.10 WXCFG=gcc_dll/mswu runhaskell Setup.hs sdist
Building source dist for wxcore-0.12.1.1...
Setup.hs: Error: Could not find module: Graphics.UI.WXCore.WxcClassInfo with
any suffix: ["gc","chs","hsc","x","y","ly","cpphs","hs","lhs"]

I remember that we had some trouble with this last time. I thought the
'extra-tmp-files' stanza indicated that we don't need these files in
the sdist. Eric, you fixed this for me last time. What did you do?

Happy to upload once I have fixed this - wxdirect is already uploaded,
and I'll do wx in a few moments. Once I've verified the whole chain
using 'cabal install wx' on a clean computer, I'll make the
announcements and update the wiki. It will be a pleasure to simplify
the install instructions :-)

Regards
Jeremy
