You mean qforeign or kdirect?

Well, qforeign seems not so much in development now - last build is
almost 4 years old :-(

It looks that Marcin is much more into Kogut at the moment :-)

When approaching Haskell, I thought I would see Haskell support in SWIG
taking into consideration that it has support for MzScheme,Chicken,
Ocaml...

Manuel mentioned SWIG in his c2hs paper and difficulties with the
support for Haskell-like language, but still, Haskell && C(++) libraries look
like a good match, so it would be nice to have ONE robust tool to make a
task of generating interface easier ;)

I'm also wondering (based on several complains about Haskell's
unpredictability) if something can be done in regards?
