[wxhaskell-users] progress on recabalised wxcore

[Eric Y. K. <eri...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note on some recent progress on the wxHaskell
recabalisation.

1. Brian Lewis has joined the wxHaskell team.  I think this will make it
   easier for the wxHaskell crew to complete this work.

2. The work on wxdirect is now on hackage, so those of you who want to
   try out the new wxcore have on less hoop to jump through (it should
   just get picked up automatically when you cabal install in the wxcore
   directory).

3. We're still waiting on the Windows situation to improve before
   merging the work into the darcs repository

4. The below looks like promising progress...

Jeremy: do you think maybe we can start from here?

Brian: is there any way we can avoid having to pass those include dirs
by hand?
