Frederico,
Have you tried using Green Card?
It is basically a foreign function pre-processor for Haskell. It allows your Haskell programs to interface with C libraries in a very straight forward way.
From comparison of the two, my impression is that this parrot is dead, and everyone is just too polite to say so. Unfortunately,
I tried it, and managed to get it working to some extent. Then I found out about hsc2hs and the current FFI support in ghc, and I noticed that according to http://www.haskell.org/greencard/ , the current version of Green Card is an alpha release from 2003. this inability to pull the shades on Green Card, Haskell Direct, etc., takes away a little from ghc's outstanding FFI.
