I just did the same thing (started using FFI) and I had some
questions, so I thought I would put up a slightly flawed wiki page and
let people answer my questions by fixing the problems!

The page is "FFI Introduction", and the question is how to nicely
integrate make to compile the C files and ghc --make for the haskell
ones.

Oops, I just realized I didn't use the recommended "Using_the_FFI" (it
didn't show up on the wiki search, but I'm new to mediawiki...)!  Oh
well, it can be merged if necessary.  "Using" seems to concentrate on
calling haskell from C, mine is about calling C from haskell, and is
more basic.
