Thanks Sam.

Ian would you like to apply this, please?

Aaron: as keeper of External Core, you should know about this.

|   * Get External Core (-fext-core) working with readline
|   Had to add support for dynamic C calls and for foreign labels (Addr#
|   constants). Actually I only did the printing side -- parsing is not
|   done yet. But at least now you can build the libraries with
-fext-core.
| 
|   I also got the function arrow to print out properly again (it was
|   printing fully-qualified and z-coded!)
| 
|   I also added a field for calling convention name to the External
|   data constructor in ExternalCore.Exp (for static C calls).
| 
|   I'm not exactly sure where to document all of this, so I haven't
done
|   that, though I did comment the code a bit.
