Seeing this today (I'm catching up on haskell-cafe!) made me want this  
too, so I rolled my own.

Main nice feature: I pointed it at the hackage CSS file, so it's  
pleasingly familiar/pretty.

Anything that doesn't have a 'html/index.html' in it gets indexed  
separately at the end.

I used Python.  I was going for quick and dirty.  Sorry, Dijkstra!   
Haskell next time, I promise!  :-)
