Hi, I wrote the instructions in the WIN32 file.

This looks like the same problem that I originally had with the SDL
package, mangling of "main" function in C land by the hand of the C
SDL.h include file.

If you look at the .hsc files from the SDL package, you will see the
fix I applied at the top of each file, after #including SDL.h the evil
"main" macro is undefined:

#include "SDL.h"
#ifdef main
#undef main
#endif

Probably the same must be done for all the .hsc files in SDL-image(and
probably also all other haskell SDL addon packages).

Please let me know if this information is helpful.
