Setting Up a OpenBSD System for Building GHC Wiki Page

[Sean Westfall]

Hi Adam Steen,
I just chatted with you on
https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/416, I just added so more
info for the wxallowed step to your wiki page -- hope you don't mind. I'm
gonna post something to this mailing list in a minute about the trouble
I've been having with building GHC on openBSD 6.0.

Thanks,
Sean
