First: wxcore doesn't compile against the default wxWidgets on MacOS X,
which is fine because I've gotten used to building my own wxWidgets.

Second: the old wxHaskell had a convention where if a wx-config lives in
/usr/local/wxhaskell/bin that we would use it.  This would make it a bit
more straightforward to cabal install wxcore, i.e. without having to do
something like PATH=/usr/local/wxhaskell/bin:$PATH cabal install wxcore.
Can you think of a good/simple mechanism to let people use their own
wxWidgets??

Third: I'm getting linker errors when I try to build something that
uses wxHaskell... I think this may be due to the second point.  It
sounds like we'd need to pass some information to the package
description that we write out...

Thanks!
