A quick poll at the Haskell workshop revealed that 1/3 of the people thought that the CGA approach is worthwhile, 2/3 thought that the cross-platform approach is adequate. Hence the CGA idea as it stands right now will not be pursued.
I have to say that I'm very disappointed by this decision. I was very enthused that there was such a strong focus on "nativeness" in the past because, in my opinion, this "nativeness" is very important. I fear that the wxWindows approach won't give us applications that conform to the platform-specific conventions very well. Therefore, I'm interested in developments like HToolkit where there's a strong emphasis on styleguide conformance.

Done. ;-)
All input (and development effort) is welcome.
