Yay!

Three notes:

1. We should write a demonstrator just using wxcore, run and no start;
   this should be trivial

2. How about running this through gdb?

3. I can't seem to reproduce this crash anymore in Brian's recabalised
   wxcore.

   I think it'd be a really good idea to push the wxcore stuff into the
   Darcs repo now that it builds under Windows (albeit with some extra
   flags).

   In the meantime, you can try
      git clone git://github.com/kowey/wxcore

   Which contains Brian Lewis's recabalisation work plus one tiny
   Mac-specific bit, linking with libstdc++.  Note however that while
   I could run the StartStart demonstrator from the command line, when
   I tried to run it from GHCi, I got this:

      Loading package wxcore-0.11.1.3 ... can't load .so/.DLL for: stdc++ (dlopen(libstdc++.dylib, 9): image not found)

   Brian: any thoughts?

Thanks!
