 GHC 7.8.1-rc2 installs the xhtml library, but doesn't export it, i.e. it's
 completely invisible to users. Is there a particular reason why this setup
 is necessary?

 If GHC needs that library internally anywhere, would it be possible to
 link it statically and *not* install it?

 Or, if that's not possible, if the library needs to be installed, please
 make it visible to users.
