out of a discussion in haskell-devscripts, John MacFarlane wrote a very nice tool, called hsb2hs, that allows you to include any binary (or text) file as a constant in your program.

When I've needed to do this in the past, I've used a simple bit of Template Haskell:

the problem is that Template Haskell does not work on all architectures, so the Debian people prefer solutions that avoid TH if it is not needed.

Yeah, we've just come across this problem in Gentoo when dealing with how Haddock behaves when there's TH to be documented in some architectures :s -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
