GTK on Windows is trivial at this point, with stack and LTS 7+. Try it
yourself:

stack exec -- pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk3
stack install gtk2hs-buildtools
stack install gtk3 --flag gtk3:build-demos
gtk2hs-demo-carsim

(I didn't start 100% clean but I don't *think* there are any other pacman
packages required...)
