Good stuff - let us (i.e. glasgow-haskell-bugs@...) know
if you should run into any problems, and we'll try to

The interface file format is a bit of a moving target right
now, I'm afraid, hence these troubles. To fix, edit
CgBindery.hi-boot to instead of saying

_exports_
CgBindery CgBindings CgIdInfo(MkCgIdInfo) ......

say

_exports_
CgBindery CgBindings CgIdInfo{MkCgIdInfo} ......

After that, 'make all'.
