This doesn't work on Windows.

$ runhaskell Setup.lhs configure --with-msc
-=-= Cabal executing: ./configure --with-hc=ghc --with-msc=-=-
operable program or batch file.
Configure failed.

$ runhaskell Setup.lhs configure
-=-= Cabal executing: ./configure --with-hc=ghc=-=-
'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Configure failed.

Is this Distribution.Make module's problem?

Distribution.Simple's defaultMainWithHooks defaultUserHooks can run "./configure"
command on Windows environment. But It seems that Distribution.Make's defaultMain
can't run "./configure" commnad on Windows.


But I think this patch is useful.
Your patch doesn't break traditional way. So we can build wxHaskell with traditional
way on Windows.


And I think we should care about at least one more point.
wxcore's makefile uses wxdirect. And wxdirect depends on parsec and time package.
So, I think we must add this dependency for wxcore.cabal file.
