[Haskell] Using putStrLn/printf from DLL in GUI application

[Krasimir Angelov]

How many times you tried to use putStrLn from Haskell or printf from C
when you are building DLL loaded in GUI application?

This simply doesn't work because by default the GUI application
doesn't have console window. The solution is to use
allocConsole/freeConsole from the attached library.


Example:

do allocConsole
     .....
     .....
     putStrLn "Hello, world!"
     .....
     .....
     freeConsole

This could be a good addition to the standard Win32 library if someone
take care to integrate it.

Cheers,
   Krasimir
