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

[Brent Yorgey]

It is possible.  I have done it for 
  
  http://projects.haskell.org/diagrams/doc/index.html

But it is not fun, and it took me several days of work (spread over
two weeks) to figure out the proper magic incantations to get
everything to work properly.  I really ought to write up a blog post
with instructions; I'll try to do that soon.
