[Haskell-cafe] wxHaskell on Windows compilation problems

[Michael Jones]

Can you give me the revision in GIT that is the official 3.0.2 release so I can branch from it and apply my patch. It just convenient to use git to keep track of my tweaks and have access to the log, etc. If there are some compatible commits since then up to some point where it breaks, I would like to know where things break.

Mike
