I think the main difference between cweb and literate haskell is that
the former allows documentation _anywhere_, whereas with literate
haskell you can't suddenly cut out of a code block to have a
discussion on what the next line means (instead you need to have an
explicit comment).  Unless GHC[i] starts stripping out all non-code
from literate haskell files and joining all the code blocks together,
I'm not sure if this situation can be remedied.

Not quite; the lhs2tex documentation says you need to put those .fmt,
.sty, etc. files in a texmf directory.
