 i've had to copy some files that aren't shipped with ghc, or perhaps i
 need to reinstall haddock in userland?
 {{{
 ~ $ haddock --hyperlinked-source
 haddock: internal error: /Users/carter/.install-

 }}}


 additionally i need to set
 {{{
  haddock-options: --hyperlinked-source
 }}}
 correctly in the ~/.cabal/config file, and if thats set wrong, source
 files are silently not generated as part of the docs, so debugging a typo
 there is pretty confusing!


 sooo... either way,  there seems to be two missing asset files in my
 build!  namely those two files i had to CP!

 as additional data, heres the customized perf build way i did
 {{{
 EXTRA_HADDOCK_OPTS=--hyperlinked-source
 HADDOCK_DOCS       = YES
 BUILD_SPHINX_HTML  = YES
 BUILD_SPHINX_PDF   = YES
 libraries/integer-gmp_CONFIGURE_OPTS += --configure-option=--with-intree-
 gmp

 }}}

 my "debugging technique" was to run `haddock --hyperlinked-source` and
 figure out what file is in the pretty builds and CP that over to the
 location haddock was complaining about and repeat
