You posted to the wrong place.  I don't follow this list as closely as
libraries at haskell.org.  It would also help if you can describe your
problem and only paste relevant details of your compiler interaction.

Which version of Cabal are you using?  Handling of _stub files is new
in versions > 1.0.1, which are not yet released, but you can get it
from CVS / darcs or from the latest tarballs on the web page.
