[Haskell-iPhone] Bumpy ride down tetris clone lane.

[Luke Iannini]

Hi Schell,

I think both the OpenGL package issues are not iOS specific; they just make
heavy use of CPP and thus into yet more yucky clang cpp stuff (I believe I
saw a report on one of the main haskell lists of someone running into the
same thing, with some mention of switching to ## for symbol concatenation,
and that lens had to do the same thing recently) — I can't install them
with regular old cabal either. Which is sort of good news, because it means
if you can debug them for regular OS X use they should work for iOS too :
).

I haven't needed these particular packages yet so I haven't looked into it
too much, but yeah, post the errors and we'll start figuring out how to fix
them up for clang!

Cheers
Luke
