pexports Was: Re: [Haskell-cafe] binding to C libraries on Windows was Low Level Audio - Writing bytes to the sound card?

[John Lask]

I think it would be a usefull addition to the haskell windows tool 
chain, and help facilitate the creation of bindings to  libraries on 
windows where no appropriate import library exists.

I am sure if you put it "out there" in whatever form, someone will find 
a use for it and perhaps build upon it.
