lambola

Copperbox revision 3101.

Minor fixes and initial work on translating IDL definitions to Haskell.

It looks like using a quasi-quoter is going to be essential, then I should be able to achieve a translation quite close to the original H/Direct paper. So far I've just used Haskell-src-exts which is rather cumbersome.

Side issue - the "patch" I posted yesterday for H/Direct gets the H/Direct generator to compile but ignores the runtime library. Getting the runtime library working looks like it would be difficult, as it calls primitives that are seemingly unknown to GHC.
