The last version of C->HS on the Web page has a *big* space
leak in the C parser. I managed to improve the space
behaviour a lot since GHC's heap profiling started to be
working again. But as I just moved from Japan to Sydney, I
didn't have the time to put a new version of the tool out
yet - sorry about that.
In any case, if you have trouble with any C headers, feel
free to send me bug reports with the details and I will fix
the problem.

We are working on that as Sven already indicated.

Greyarea is taken of the net. The new C->HS page is at
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/haskell/c2hs/
As said, I am planing to release a new version soon - within
two weeks. If you have any problems, except the space leak,
send them now and I try to get a fix into the next version.

Great! If you have any preferences as to which widgets that
are not yet implemented you need most, send me a list
please (I don't promise anything, but I am implementing the
most wanted widgets first).
Cheers,
