Sorry about the false start earlier. It seems there were a few tricky
bits in the integration between haddock and GHC's build system that
weren't quite right. This should be fixed now.

I've pushed the result to the ghc-8.0 branch and have pushed a set of
new source tarballs to the usual URL. The new release commit is

    b594f8191273f4c913bc8413d30fd3061bb577c1

Again, I'll hold off a bit longer in pushing the tag in case there are
further issues. As always, let me know if you have any issues (and
thanks to those who alerted me of the Haddock issue).

Cheers,

- Ben
