[Haskell-iPhone] Objective C bindings?

[Luke Iannini]

Yo Jake,
Yeah, what Max said. Sigh, I've done this (updated OH to use Max's static
lib support, fixed a bunch of bugs, and other things) an have been
promising to clean it up enough to release for quite some time. The yucky
bit is that I manually converted it to strip out the Template Haskell usage
which both makes it much uglier and not nearly as nice to use. But it
works, and that's something : ), so I'll get going.

I think we could design something even nicer with Type Families sometime
that didn't require TH.

Cheers
Luke
