Comment:

 I have submitted a correction for the greencard link to cabal-
 dev at haskell.org.

 The five remaining broken links are all Cabal links, and the problem is
 that they don't include the version of Cabal in the link. For instance,
 the documentation points to

 http://darcs.haskell.org/download/docs/6.12.3/html/libraries/Cabal
 /Distribution-License.html

 but the latest documentation is at

 http://darcs.haskell.org/download/docs/6.12.3/html/libraries/Cabal-1.8.0.6
 /Distribution-License.html

 I think it would be nice if we didn't have to put version dependent
 hyperlinks into the documentation. Is there a way to make Cabal redirect
 to Cabal-1.8.0.6 (or whatever the latest is)?
