Makes no difference, really. For instance, I sometimes "script" Hugs
by piping commands and input into it (very useful to get all that
browsing/info support from within your favorite editor, without
having to extend/dll-convert/re-distribute hugs server;-):

>   $ cat > /tmp/foo.hs
>   main = getLine >>= print
>   

  $ echo "main" | hugs /tmp/foo.hs

  $ echo ":browse" | hugs /tmp/foo.hs
  $ echo 'print "hello world!"' | hugs 

Which reminds me: would it be difficult to separate hugs into a dll
and an executable which just calls (renamed) main in the dll? Vim
permits calling functions in dlls. Or is there any portable way to
send Hugs into the background and have access to its stdin and
stdout (the obvious named pipes won't work in windows, afaik)?
