Dear Haskell Folks,

Release Candidate 11 of the H98 FFI Addendum 1.0 is now
available from

  http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/haskell/ffi/

The change log since RC 10 is appended below.

Again, please review this specification carefully.  If no
suggestion that leads to a serious change is made within two
weeks, I will freeze version 1.0.

Thanks,
Manuel
