It certainly seems to, insomuch as the given test code no longer causes a
crash :)

Ah, yes, I suspected this would need some debate.
I was on the cusp of merging in your wx-config implementation, namely:
http://darcsden.com/kowey/wxhaskell/browse/wx-config/

But then I got a reply from the previous project leader wx-config-win:
http://code.google.com/p/wx-config-win/

He had hoped that one day wx-config-win might be merged in to wxWidgets,
but noted that it had fallen behind the project and had several known
issues:
http://code.google.com/p/wx-config-win/issues/list

Personally I feel that (for similar arguments to those for maintaining wxC
as a language-agnostic project) we should pursue wx-config-win. Thoughts?
