  Added files:
    lib/exts             ForeignPtr.hs 
  Log:
  Added ForeignPtr a
  
  Deviations from spec:
  
  1) Instead of newForeignPtr which requires preemptive concurrency to
     work right, we provide makeForeignPtr which does not.
  
     Given my druthers, I'd call the version Hugs provides newForeignPtr
     but it has a different type and it seems best to avoid gratuitious
     confusion for now.
  
  2) addForeignPtrFinalizer isn't provided because I'm feeling lazy.
  
     To be honest, I don't know when you would use this function.  But,
     if we ever find a use for it, I guess I'll implement it.
  
  ALL THIS FRESH CODE IS UNTESTED.  It loads and it is based on
  the implementation of ForeignObj so it can't be far off but
  I haven't tested it so watch out.
