    src                  Makefile.in MkInstal.in hugs.c runhugs.c 
  Log:
  New binary 'ffihugs' to compile ffi files.
  Typical usage:
  
    ./ffihugs -P'{Hugs}/libraries:{Hugs}/lib/hugs:{Hugs}/lib/exts' +G +L"errno.c" Foreign.C.Error
  
  Notes:
  
  - The very last argument must be the file to compile.
    You certainly can't put the +L flag last.
  
    ffihugs will probably silently ignore it if you do.  Do I care enough
    to fix this?
  
  - Though it's somewhat redundant, you can't omit the +G flag.
  
    Hmmm, if you omit the +G flag, ffihugs will load the file and
    return an error code if it fails.  Could be useful.
  
  - The code only differs from runhugs by a few lines so we played the
    usual cpp tricks to avoid code duplication.
  
  - No need for +q -w now: runhugs was already pretty quiet.
  
  - Note that you need lib/hugs and lib/exts on the search path.
    This is to let us load HugsDynamic (which loads IOExts) which
    hasn't made it into the hierarchial libs.  We'll probably want to
    clean this up once we commit totally to the hierarchy.  At the same time,
    we'll probably reduce HugsDynamic to a slim shim over Data.Dynamic.
