Win32 library. SOE. HDirect generated COM client code + libraries.
GC, as released, will output HugsAPI3 decls. HDirect outputs
HugsAPI2. So, pretty much any code generated by either tool
that's out there.

The only thing I've got access to now is the Win32 library, which works
fine (well, sometime ago I had to go through it and use 'fromIntegral'
throughout to do sized Int/Word conversions, as Int and Word dropped
support for a bunch of conversion functions.)

There's little cost in supporting it, hence my suggestion. I wouldn't mind
simply having needPrims() treat 2&3 just like 4.
