[Haskell-cafe] GLFW/GLFW-b ambiguity

[Schell Scivally]

GLFW and GLFW-b aren't _meant_ to be used together, though I don't see why
you _couldn't_ use them together. People in the #haskell-game channel on
irc.freenode.net may be able to help you, as well as the package
maintainers. I know Brian Lewis (glfw-b) is pretty fast to respond.
