Yitz, Please do make time to do this! This is the moment, while it is still fresh in your mind.
Of course, you are correct. Thanks for the push. I am a bit busy with work, but the information is not lost. I'll have it up soon.
I just did the same thing (started using FFI) and I had some questions, so I thought I would put up a slightly flawed wiki page and let people answer my questions by fixing the problems! The page is "FFI Introduction", and the question is how to nicely integrate make to compile the C files and ghc --make for the haskell ones. Oops, I just realized I didn't use the recommended "Using_the_FFI" (it didn't show up on the wiki search, but I'm new to mediawiki...)! Oh well, it can be merged if necessary. "Using" seems to concentrate on calling haskell from C, mine is about calling C from haskell, and is more basic.
