I made a quick attempt at installing the graphics library with 
MacOS X in preparation for the Dec-2001 Hugs release, but I 
wasn't able to get past some DLL related problems.  This is were 
I stopped:

   ERROR "lib/x11/Xlib_StdDIS.hs" - Error while importing DLL
   "/Users/nordland/src/graphics-2.0.4/lib/x11/Xlib_StdDIS.so":
   Not an recognisable object file

BTW, getting this far requires replacing "-shared" with 
"-dynamic", and "ld" with "libtools" in the Makefile, as well as 
adding "-lSystem" to the definition of LDFLAGS.

I haven't found the motivation to investigate this problem any 
further, though.  Any thoughts, Alastair?
