FFI testers wanted

[Alastair Reid]

Thanks to Sigbjorn Finne, Oliver Braun, Sven Panne, Malcolm Wallace
and Simon Marlow I now have test results for Windows, Linux/x86,
FreeBSD/x86 and Solaris/Sparc.


I'd be interested in seeing reports for:

- MacOSX/PPC (should work), 

- HPUX (may need some help in configure and, of course, foreign import
  wrapper isn't implemented), and 

- Alpha (may configure and build but will probably fail most runtime
  tests because of portability problems in lib/exts/Storable.hs).

and, of course, any other platforms.


I'm collecting reports on this page:

  http://www.reid-consulting-uk.ltd.uk/projects/ffi/index.html

and have put together a new CVS snapshot for testing:

The test procedure is described on the report page.
