[Haskell-cafe] Linking in Large ByteStrings

[Tom Hawkins]

I have a large tarball I want to link into an executable as a
ByteString.  What is the best way to do this?  I can convert the
tarball into a haskell file, but I'm afraid ghc would take a long time
to compile it.  Is there any way to link constant data directly with
ghc?  If not, what's the most efficient way to code large ByteStrings
for fast compilation?
