[Haskell-cafe] [ANN] New OpenCV Bindings

[Arjun Comar]

Fair enough, it's been two or three years since I tried to play with them.
Most of my work is in the raw bindings currently, which provide the C++ API
in Haskell, so much lower level that cv-combinators. If HOpenCV were to
incorporate parts of these bindings then cv-combinators would be able to
benefit from this work. That said, my effort going forward is to provide
something equivalent to cv-combinators in expressiveness. I'm definitely
taking inspiration from the library though I'm not basing my work on their
source code.
