Anyway, in this case it wasn't *too *painful to just generate a bunch of extra boilerplate C functions for (1) creating a data structure to hold the arguments, (2) loading them in one at a time, and (3) deallocating the structure when the call is done. Yuck. But no extra dependencies.
If I understand you right, that's a better direction in my view - and when I've done stuff like this I've allocated and marshalled the data structure from the Haskell side fairly painlessly with Foreign.Storable(poke) etc., and the .hsc preprocessor macros for struct access (#poke, etc.) Donn
