[Haskell-cafe] [ANN] New OpenCV Bindings

[Ivan Perez]

The people working on HOpenCV are very open to incorporating other's
programmer's patches. Maybe you can incorporate your changes to
cv-combinators? (Project's been halted since 2010, I'm sure they'll be very
happy to see that sb is contributing).
