While ago I had a question about opening the url in the default browser from haskell program. I didn't get any immediate answers so I wrote my own solution. On Linux it uses xdg-open and on Windows - ShellExecute Api.

Does it deserve to be a hackage package?

If it's not in an existing small library, yes. If I have to have a dependency on gtk2hs just to do that, I'd rather have a small library. Does it work on OS X? If not, I'm sure someone would submit a patch for that. This can also be used for opening the file browser and such, right?
