Is haddock-ghc still the next version?  It wouldn't even compile
without minor modifications (it seems to be incompatible with the
current version of cabal); and when I tried to run it:

stefan at stefans:/tmp/HAppS_0$ haddock-ghc --html --dump-interface=dist/doc/html/HAppS.haddock --prologue=HAppS-0.9.0-haddock-prolog.txt --use-package=HaXml-1.13.2 --use-package=mtl-1.0  --use-package=network-2.0 --use-package=stm-2.0 --use-package=template-haskell-2.0 --use-package=regex-compat-0.71 --use-package=binary-0.2 --use-package=HList-0.1  --title=HAppS-0.9.0:  --odir=dist/doc/html  `find dist/build/tmp/src/HAppS -name '*.hs'`
Warning: Cannot use package base:
   HTML directory /usr/local/share/ghc-6.7.20070223/html/libraries/base does not exist.

haddock-ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
  (GHC version 6.7.20070223 for i386-unknown-linux):
        a static opt was looked at too early!

Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

(Is it still worth reporting if it is the GHC API?)
