ANNOUNCE: GHC version 7.8.4

[Alfredo Di Napoli]

Hi Carter,

I finally had the chance to test this on my personal laptop, where I was
pretty much free on which version of Cabal/haddock to use.
Installing a fresh haddock, and using Cabal-1.20.0.3 (but I suspect it
doesn’t matter), “cabal haddock” worked just fine on one of my
libraries.
