Yes, GHC 5.02 predates a few of the changes made to the FFI spec - in particular the
'unsafe' keyword used to come after the string specifying the external entity, and in
the version of the FFI spec that 5.02 implements the string isn't allowed to contain a
header file.

Current target is midweek this week. I have some issues with the Sparc port still to
work out, but otherwise we're on track.
Cheers,
