[C2hs] ANN: C->Haskell 0.14.5

[Manuel M T Chakravarty]

C->Haskell 0.14.5 improves pointer hooks:

* Proper handling of struct/unions, courtesy of Jelmer Vernooij
* The `nocode' directive enables pointer hooks that generate no code, 
  which is useful when a binding wants to use some definitions from
  another binding that was not generate with C->Haskell.

Full details appended.

Happy Hacking!
Manuel

  * Pointer hooks translate raw types
  - This fixes a long standing bug that over which I only stumbled by accident.
    When we translate a C type being the target if a pointer hook into a Haskell
    type, we must disregard the pointer hook alias map.  The problem occured as
    the `extractCompType' function is used in two different kind of contexts:
    (a) when handling pointer hooks and (b) when translating function signatures
    for foreign import declarations.  The function must behave slightly
    differently in both contexts, but didn't do that so far.

  * Only match in `checkForOneCUName' if there are no indirections

  Without this patch, the following code:

  #c
  struct foostruct { char x; };
  void bar2(struct foostruct **a);
  #endc

  {#pointer *foostruct as Foo newtype#}
  test2 = {#call bar2#}

  would give

  foreign import ccall safe "test-pp.h bar2"
    bar2 :: ((Foo) -> (IO ()))

  with this patch, it generates:

  foreign import ccall safe "test-pp.h bar2"
    bar2 :: ((Ptr (Foo)) -> (IO ()))
