You can write an applescript similar to

Open Terminal Here
from http://www.entropy.ch/software/applescript/

and endow it with a custom icon.

There no binary platform installer for OSX PPC. You'll have to grab
ghc-6.10.4 for PPC from the ghc download page and then install the
platform from the generic source tarball.

If you'd like to help us next time to make a platform binary for PPC
then that'd be great. I don't think we have the setup to make universal
binaries but it should be possible to make a PPC build if we have a
volunteer.

Sure, barring job-related time constraints, I'd be happy to volunteer.
My Mac just went out of service because of a hardware problem with the
memory, so I'm order new replacement RAM this weekend.  As soon as
that arrives and I install it, the problem should be resolved.

What should I do?
