Cool!  Some items for the ToDo list.  I'll try to help out with these
later, right now I'm focussed on GHC 6.4:

  - should process hidden modules as well as exposed ones.  The hidden
    modules might contain entities that are re-exported by an exposed
    module.  Hidden modules should use the #hide haddock directive.

  - configure should detect haddock.  We should have a --with-haddock
too
    (similarly for all the other programs we use - I made this change
for
    VS a while ago and didn't get around to pushing it, now it'll be
    conflict city.  oh well).

  - if GHC is present and hscpp is not, we can use 'ghc -E -cpp'.  This
    also unlits.

  - hscpp need to define __HADDOCK__ when preprocessing for haddock.
This
    means we have to preprocess seprately for haddock.

  - haddock should be passed the names of the interface files for the
    dependent packages (gotten from haddock_interfaces field of the
    dependent packages, query ghc-pkg).

  - we should install the haddock interface, and fill in the location
    in haddock_interfaces.  Similarly for the HTML, and haddock_html.
