It would be nice, given the fragile nature of the toolchains used to make
 docs, to have a compiled documentation tree available as a tar file to
 just drop into a locally-built GHC.  For various reasons I can't use the
 binary kits provided, and when I try to build the docs using the
 guidelines given the build fails horribly.  This seems to break any use of
 haddock afterwards resulting in an unmaintainable mess.  When it
 subsequently breaks, it complains about missing .haddock files under the
 installation tree.  Having a readily un-tarrable distribution of the docs
 would do wonders in alleviating this problem.
