Ah, so somebody has already beaten me to it, eh? Looks like the only
thing it doesn't do is let you change the title on the console window.
(Because, obviously, that's only possible on Windows.) And what do you

Now that's pretty rare...
Any ideas about the build log error that's preventing Hackage from
autogenerating the documentation?
