Yes, I'm Windows developper and I put a few version of Windows installer
on my project( Kamiariduki)'s file space.

But ... there is a problem.
First, it's not official release.

People search binary file for wxHaskell's website first, and if they
don't get any imformation that, many of probabry give up to use wxHaskell.

Some people try to build wxHaskell, but sadly this is not easy task.
Because wxHaskell site's Building Guide is out of date.
Okay, we have another imformation on Haskell.org, but this is not
easy to reach there.

http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell/Install

Some people reached unofficial release fortunately. (This is very
difficult. Because there is no link from official pages.) But it's
just unofficial release, so they can't expected to get binary as soon
as new GHC is released or solving building problem (if that is occur).

SourceForge don't accept same name. So I don't want to put new binary,
if anyone donesn't say problem. I want to hold name to use more better
patched version (e.g. version of supporting more wxWidgets' feature).

I think unofficial release must make good the shortage for official
release, not release constantly instead of releasing official one.
