I have a cabal package that should include extra documentation in the
distribution. This documentation should not be written in Haddock.
1. There should be a field for this analogous to data-files or extra-
source-files. The former is too much: the files do not need to be accessed
by any Haskell runtime. The latter is not enough: it does not store the
extracted files on the system on which the package is installed.
2. There should be a way for humans to find these files without loading up
a GHC runtime or using Unix's "find". I suggest "cabal list" also shows,
for installed packages with extra data or documentation files installed,
where these files can be found.
