Comment (by NeilMitchell):

 Perhaps an MSI could be created, but unless that's what gets installed
 with {{cabal install}} the bug still stands - we have propaganda saying
 cabal install is the one true way to install things, it needs to work for
 common packages.

 Also if we have an MSI it will be highly GHC version specific (as Gtk2hs
 is), so this is probably a lot of hassle and pain for very little benefit.
