[Haskell-cafe] Level of Win32 GUI support in the Haskell platform

I've been for functions like GetMessage, TranslateMessage and
DispatchMessage in the Haskell Platform Win32 library - the usual
message loop stuff - and not finding them. Hoogle says "no results found".
Is this level of Win32 GUI coding supported? (other than by dealing with
the FFI myself)
Alternatively, should I be doing dialog-based coding and leaving Haskell
to worry about message loops behind the scenes?
Either way, is there an example I can use for reference? I have
something along the lines of Petzolds Hello World in mind as the ideal
(register a window class, handle the messages, paint some text), but
anything that shows how to get a basic Win32 GUI app running in Haskell
is fine.
