[Haskell-cafe] Multi-site haddock documentation with proper links?

[Ryan Newton]

This is sort of related to ticket #130:

   http://trac.haskell.org/haddock/ticket/130

And this one seems to hint at a solution to the problem in the more
extensive syntax for --read-interface.

  http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3810

(My local haddock-2.10.0 --help doesn't mention this.  But I'll give it a
whirl.)
