GHC Manuals online

Hi,

Recently I've been wanting to search for things in the GHC manual,
unfortunately that isn't very easy with Google, beacuse lots of people
have put up their own copies of the GHC manual - mostly out of date!

Try googling for "The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System
User's Guide", I was able to find easily:

6.4 http://web.mit.edu/ghc/www/users_guide/
3.02 http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/fp/software/ghc/3.02/users_guide/users_guide-1.html
6.4.1 http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/manuals/lang/ghc-6.4.1/users_guide/index.html
4.06 http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~dsg/gph/docs/4.06/users_guide/introduction-ghc.html

The disadvantage of having lots of out of date manuals is that Google
rarely finds the correct one, which means when I search for the
"Language Pragma GHC" I run into loads of manuals from ages ago.

Any chance some GHC person could politely request that some of these
get removed? Having the manual easily searchable is a good thing.

Thanks

Neil
