 I see some packages (portaudio, alsa) at Hackage, that contain a plain
 copy of the C2HS module. Wouldn't it be better to add a library part to
 the c2hs package and export the C2HS module?

ANNOUNCE: c2hs 0.16.3

All,

c2hs version 0.16.3 is out and is available from hackage
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/c2hs

What is c2hs
============

c2hs is an FFI preprocessor tool, a bit like hsc2hs, that helps with the
development of Haskell bindings to C libraries.

The major advantages of using c2hs compared to writing foreign imports
by hand (or using hsc2hs) are:

  * Cross-language type safety:
        C functions are imported with the correct Haskell types.

  * Saves time:
        boilerplate marshaling code is generated.

It works by extracting interface information from C header files and it
generates Haskell code with foreign imports and marshalling.

Changes in this release
=======================

      * In and out marshallers may now have arguments, rather than just
        being single function names.
      * Foreign function imports will now use stdcall if the C headers
        specify this calling convention. This will help with bindings to
