Strange, this test works on my system - there should be a file  
Capital.h, and in
fact, all files should be named Capital.? (with capital C). I'm on a  
case-insensitive filesystem
though (sigh), so maybe some darcs confusion.

Very good !
Could you please review (very small changes) and apply the following  
patches, too ?
Just to ensure c2hs will work with the next release of language.c as  
well (stays compatible
with 0.3.1).

Oh, very true and a nice pun, but maybe to obvious ?

I'd like to suggest 0.16.0 'Crystal Seed'.
It contains a reference to the environment (it's freezing), C would  
have been
called Crystal if invented after Perl and Ruby, and finally, the seed  
(the C parser) buried
in c2hs made it into a library and back into c2hs again. Seriously ;)
