Comment(by dankna):
I have submitted a patch for this with darcs send. My patch simply
relaxes the restriction on the name of the file given to main-is: to also
allow known C-language extensions. The ticket description suggested that
-no-hs-main might be required in this situation, but that seems to no
longer be the case. There might still be a problem when the entry point
is WinMain() instead of main(); see GHC ticket #2459 (at
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2459 ). I'm not really set up
to test that case.
