naming of directories for the new libraries

Thanks.  This sounds like good advice.

I don't know about 'official' but the way I'd do it is:

- unpack the module somewhere ($prefix/lib/hugs/lib/$pkgname would be a
  fine choice but other places are good too)

- run hugs +G on any ffiable libraries

- add -P$prefix/lib/hugs/lib/$pkgname: (or whatever) to HUGSFLAGS

Obviously, the last step isn't very convenient to script.  

There's various ways this could be fixed (wrapper scripts which
generate search paths from a list of installed packages and then
invoke Hugs, adding package support directly to Hugs, using the search
path as a list of directories that might contain _packages_ (instead
of as a list of directories that might contain _modules_)) but I don't
think Hugs has any at the moment.
