sorry to respond twice to the same mail, but have you seen hsc2hs? it
can let you access arbitrary components of structures defined in C, or
have haskell values that map to unknown c integral types in a portable
way. 

hsc2hs is nice. it is the minimum needed to write portable haskell ffi
using code.
