I moved hslibs/Win32 over to libraries/Win32 and made the following changes:

1) Put it in hierarchial module namespace
2) Made it all compile (== pass through greencard)
   using latest Greencard version
   (i.e., using new FFI types instead of old ccall-era types.)

I might also have compiled it with ghc or Hugs but I'm not certain.
I certainly didn't link anything with it or test it although _I believe it 
won't take much more work to get it working_.

To build it, you need to use with Microsoft supplied header files (because 
compiling Greencard code depends on these).
Last time I looked, this meant that you had to use the Microsoft C compiler 
(distributed with the Visual C++ package and the documentation describes a 
line or two to add to your autoexec.bat so that you can use the compiler in 
batch mode).

Following a disk failure, my laptop has an empty partition waiting for me to 
get round to re-installing Windows on it so, at the moment, I don't have 
Visual C so I can't take the development any further.
