[SNIP...] (i.e. can I use the resultant SDL-binding outside Cygwin?)
Hi The short answers is "yes" - once you have the Haskell binding installed will need only the .exe of your (Haskell) application compiled by GHC and the SDL.dll [1]. The long answer is that this was true for whichever GHC I was using a year ago (probably 6.10.1) so should still be true now but isn't guaranteed. Installing the development packages for SDL was a bit convoluted a year ago - cygwin needs the DirectX headers[2]. Also I think you might have to compile to an exe each time - I seem to remember you couldn't develop with SDL and GHCi.
