HDirect for GHC 5.04

[Sigbjorn Finne]

Thanks, fixed in the current sources. To make it
work for you, you need supply defns of libdir
and datadir when doing 'install-pkg', e.g.,

  foo$ make install-pkg libdir=`pwd` datadir=`pwd`

(make sure you remove HDirect.pkg first.)

This is all somewhat academic to you though, as you're
really just interested in the COM version of the libraries
in comlib/ (for which 'make install-pkg' does the right thing.)
