Perhaps it could call things from the System.Win32 lib instead of doing
the FFI directly.
Could you investigate what external functions we need exactly and if
they're exported from System.Win32.
foreign import stdcall unsafe "windows.h GetModuleFileNameA"
getModuleFileName :: Ptr () -> CString -> Int -> IO Int32
That's the only one. Wouldn't it make more sense to put this FFI call
in Cabal (which is always there, and always required) instead of
Win32, which isn't an existing dependancy?
Thanks
Neil
