I meant how to get that stuff into Haskell.

It seems Haskell provides a magical command which somehow lets you call 
a C function as if it's a Haskell function, assuming you can find a 
header file that contains the C function you're after. (I literally have 
*no idea* how the linker finds the actual code...) However, there seems 
to be no way to import constants. In fact, every Haskell binding I've 
looked at has these hard-coded in the Haskell source code rather than 
imported, so I've just waded through a few KB of header files tracking 
down all the #defines and their literal values.

And you know what?

I just ported my program to Haskell, AND IT STILL WORKS CORRECTLY! 0_0

This is an unprecidented level of success. It seems I can actually call 
any C function I have a header file for. Wow.
