Comments for this clone of wxHaskell

Some instructions for use on Windows. Install wxWidgets in MSYS2/MinGW64 shell:

$ pacman -Syu
$ # Restart MSYS2
$ pacman -Su
$ # Restart MSYS2
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-wxmsw3.1
$
$ # ln in MSYS2 just makes a copy so it's better
$ # to use CMD: mklink or PowerShell New-item
$ ln -s /mingw64/bin/wx-config-3.1 /mingw64/bin/wx-config
$ ln -s /mingw64/include/wx-3.1 /mingw64/include/wx
$
$ # Make a small wxWidgets application and test building it
$ g++ HelloWorldApp.cpp `wx-config --libs` `wx-config --cxxflags` -o HelloWorldApp
$ # A lot of dll's must be available to execute it.
