[cvs-nhc98] Status of foreign import wrapper/dynamic

What is the status of 'foreign import "wrapper"' and 'foreign import "dynamic"'
in nhc98? http://haskell.org/nhc98/ffi.html claims that neither is supported,
but at least the "dynamic" part compiles.

Having both available is mission-critical for a working OpenGL/GLUT binding, so
are there any plans to implement the missing parts? I could offer a helping hand,
I've done some work at the corresponding parts of GHC and Hugs before. But for
doing this, I would need some detailed info about the current implementation of
nhc98's FFI. Is there such a thing? (apart from the source code, of course :-)

Cheers,
    S.
