[Haskell-cafe] GHC accepts libraries compiled with Visual Studio?

Mon Apr 6 17:34:58 EDT 2009

To my surprise GHC seems to accept .lib files (produced by e.g. Visual
Studio on Windows) directly; I don't need to convert these to .a files using
e.g. reimp
That's really cool. Is this by design or did I miss something? The manual
does not seem to mention this.
