Would that be in the released Greencard or only in the cvs version?

So the Win32 sources could now be regenerated and future builds and
releases wouldn't run into these problems with Win32 or HGL anymore?

in cvs: hslibs/win32 before the next release, please, because that
won't happen automatically anymore (but then I may be wrong about
this - I don't understand the fptools Makefiles, yet;-).

Great - thanks,
Claus

PS. I still have to figure out how to make hslibs/win32 in
    isolation, so I won't be able to test & confirm whether this 
    solves all the HGL/GHC/Win32 problems for a while (e.g., there
    was the problem of polygon creation running out of resources,
    see Friday's email; that could easily be related to the same 
    ffi problem, but it would be good to check) - anyone else in 
    a better position for testing?
