Actually, you could use Hugs' ability to pass arbitrary command line arguments 
to the compiler to do so.  (This would use the gcc specific -inline command 
line flag.)

But I would rather see the existing ffi spec implemented or the ffi spec 
changed to allow some kind of 'foreign include' declarations than use this
crufty little feature.
