Hi Dan, I don't know of anyone who has done this. I have a 64 bit Windows 7 machine at work which has never had wxHaskell on it (in fact, it hasn't had Haskell at all!), so I'll try a clean build in the next day or two and let you know what happened (I'll be using the latest Haskell Platform as my ghc install). If I run into any issues it may take me a few days to fix them, but if all is smooth, I'll document exactly what I did (if it differs in any way from the wiki).
Ghc includes its own copy of MinGW, so I don't think it's a good idea to point to the libraries from your own installation. However, if there's any issue, I'll hopefully find it very soon.
