Dear Thomas,

Thanks for the contribution!

The Foreign Function Interface, as well as the MacOS X port of Hugs
is currently undergoing major changes, in an attempt to (among other
things) support HGL on the Mac.  So your contribution is most welcome,
and will be merged into the CVS tree.

All the best,
Johan
