More specifically, it's producing UTF8-encoded output; but xmessage is ancient 
and doesn't speak UTF8, only ISO8859-1. Possibly just forcing LANG=C on ghc 
would work --- but I'm not sure if that would then disallow UTF8 in source 
files (ghc's encoding handling is a little strange for historical reasons).

We could use zenity or Xmessage, but those depend on gtk2/3.
