Comment:

 I claim that my diagnosis of this problem as being related to resource
 forks was completely bogus.

 The real problem is that in MacOS X, my graphical application needs to be
 stored in an application bundle, so instead of calling foo I need to call
 foo.app/Contents/MacOS/foo

 This leads to some hoops which makes it impossible to just cabal install
 foo, but at least they are simpler hoops
