Comment:
I don't think this can possibly work. You can't link to the Cygwin X11
libraries, because GHC on Windows does not produce Cygwin executables -
see #1071.
The partial Haskell/C solution ''might'' work, but you'll probably need to
use Cygwin's gcc to compile the C file and to link the final executable.
You might need to put the Haskell code in a DLL, I'm not sure.
I'm going to close this bug, since we already have a feature request
(#1071).
