Hi Iain, I'm taking the liberty of cc'ing wxhaskell-users.

I've also done something similar http://koweycode.blogspot.com/2009/09/cabal-installing-graphical-apps-on.html only in Haskell and attempting to integrate into a Cabal Setup script. You may want to know about work by Andy Gimblett to package this up nicely: http://www.mail-archive.com/wxhaskell-us...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00725.html I hope his work will one day may the macosx-app shell script obsolete.
