To make things even more confusing, there is also:
   http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/storablevector
   http://code.haskell.org/storablevector/

This library was mentioned in Haskell-Cafe in December of 2007 on 
Haskell-Cafe and I started to use and extend it by a lazy chunky 
structure, an ST interface for in-place update, and an experimental 
element-wise lazy but efficient data structure. Now I become aware that 
there are parallel efforts. I'm also uncertain where to invest more time.
