Hi,
the NCG isn't quite up to handling the FFI, so you need to add -fvia-C to
HC_OPTS in the Makefile (Oh, and -static too, just to be sure.)
This and a couple of other details surrounding the examples/ directory
was something I didn't get around to doing for 0.17. Hope to have this
fixed for 0.18, but in the meantime, attached is a missing little header
file from examples/html-dialog/, which you'll need to successfully
build that example.

HtmlDialog.h
