[Haskell-cafe] ForeignFunPtr

[mf-hcafe-15c311f0c at etc-network.de]

the purpose of ForeignPtr is to attach a finalization procedure to the
object behind the pointer.  for example, you can have close called
aimplicitly whenever the garbage collector finds you don't need a file
handle any more.  function pointers do not need finalization.
