 There has been a lot of discussions about defining a common API for GUIs,
you get an impression when you read the archives for gui@haskell.org.  
HToolkit+Ports+GIO tries to provide functionality that works with Gtk and
Win32 as backend. In contrast, there is the more complete gtk2hs binding
which uses Gtk 2.0 on Unix, Windows and Mac (more info from me).  There is
Object I/O wich is specific to Windows and comes with GHC. There are more
options like HGL which is more for graphics AFAIK and higher-level
approaches like Fudgets (not for Windows). There is no best way right now
so it would be wrong to give a definite answer here.

Hope this helps,
Axel.
