Comment (by duncan):

 This also depends on changes in Cabal:
 http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/296

 I don't know for sure but I suspect that the major difference between
 ghc's hsc2hs and the mainline one is that ghc's fork uses ghc as cc rather
 than gcc. So if Cabal is adapted to tell hsc2hs to use gcc then that's
 probably most of the work done. It's not totally trivial since Cabal will
 have to lookup the right cc options to pass to gcc, that ghc normally uses
 when we pass -package options etc.
