[Haskell-cafe] Wrapping FTGL in FFI calls

I've been looking for awhile now for a simple way to get truetype fonts into
my visualizations so I can abandon the hideous GLUT fonts and make things
that look like they were developed in the 1990s instead of back in the days
of TRON.  I found FTGL, but I'm mostly a Haskell developer these days, and
resent having to go back to C just to write a simple application.

So I was wondering if anyone had ever wrapped the FTGL library in Haskel FFI
or whether those out there who are experts on the FFI think at first glance
it should be readily wrappable by a rank amateur at FFI such as myself.
