I'm not sure. large parts of wxcore are generated by running wxdirect
over the wxc headers. I couldn't find a way to make cabal handle this
dependency without moving to the Makefile buildtype.

I actually got somewhat disillusioned with Cabal while trying to move
everything to using it because it really only knows about Haskell
dependencies and very simple C/C++ (i.e. which can be compiled via the
Haskell compiler). I haven't kept up well with the further development
of Cabal recently, but I suspect that the limitation probably remains.

The wxc separation should be OK - it's already (as noted previously)
essentially working for me.
