All right.  Then I'll instead try to modify cabal2arch to build docs as well.

The one thing that I _really_ want input on is the location of the docs

- GHC ships with docs located in /usr/share/doc/ghc/libraries/
- In that directory there's also a script (gen_contents_index) that will
   rebuild the index of all haddock docs located in subdirectories (it searches
   for */*.haddock).

So, is that location an acceptable location for docs of other haskell
packages?
