There seems to be a slight problem with the build system.  I've tried
building it from fptools (having only checked out fpconfig) and it
crashes on make boot:

 rm -f Version.hs
 echo "--Automatically generated"         > Version.hs
 echo "module Version where"             >> Version.hs
 echo ""                                 >> Version.hs
 echo "pkg_name :: String"               >> Version.hs
 echo "pkg_name    = \"HaskellDirect (ihc)\""    >> Version.hs
 echo "pkg_version :: String"            >> Version.hs
 echo "pkg_version = \"snapshot 081001\"" >> Version.hs
 make[2]: *** No rule to make target `mkNativeInfo', needed by `NativeInfo.hs'.  Stop.
 make[1]: *** [boot] Error 1
 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mark/fptools/hdirect-0.18'
 make: *** [all] Error 1


Apparently, the Makefile doesn't define a rule for generating mkNativeInfo
from mkNativeInfo.c. I've compiled mkNativeInfo by hand and it seems to get
past that.  Then again, maybe I'm just doing something wrong with the build.
