I've worked out why, but haven't fixed it.

wx-config-win doesn't know about some of the new libraries, and is giving
incorrect results in other cases. I don't have time to fix this tonight,
but:

C:\usr\local\src\haskell\wxhaskell-dev\wxhaskell-2.9\wxc>wx-config --libs
base,gl,xrc,richtext,aui,media returns
 -mthreads -LD:\Builds\wxWidgets-2.9.3\lib\gcc_dll -lwxmsw29u_richtext
-lwxmsw29u_gl -lopengl32 -lglu32 -lwxmsw29u_media -lwxbase29u -lwxtiff
-lwxjpeg -lwxpng -lwxzlib -lwxregexu -lwxexpat -lkernel32 -luser32 -lgdi32
-lcomdlg32 -lwxregexu -lwinspool -lwinmm -lshell32 -lcomctl32 -lole32
-loleaut32 -luuid -lrpcrt4 -ladvapi32 -lwsock32

C:\usr\local\src\haskell\wxhaskell-dev\wxhaskell-2.9\wxc>wx-config --libs
returns
 -mthreads -LD:\Builds\wxWidgets-2.9.3\lib\gcc_dll -lwxmsw29u_html
-lwxmsw29u_adv
-lwxmsw29u_core -lwxbase29u_xml -lwxbase29u_net
-lwxbase29u -lwxtiff -lwxjpeg -lwxpng -lwxzlib -lwxregexu -lwxexpat
-lkernel32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32 -lw xregexu -lwinspool -lwinmm
-lshell32 -lcomctl32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -luuid -lrpcrt4 -ladvapi32 -lwsock32

Missing base libraries in red.

I'll try to fix this tomorrow.
