Would be nice if the ogre resource loading stuff were a seperate library.

Anyway, it seems like theres quite a few people working on game/openGL 
related stuff for Haskell now. Would be nice to get a group of people 
working on something.

Personally, I've been working on a 2d isometric game for the past 
several months.
