[Haskell-cafe] hackageDB haddock errors

Any reason haddock isn't run at the time the package is uploaded?  Or could
the docs be included in the tarball?  Folks oftentimes want to announce
their new packages right after uploading them, but usually there are no
docs yet.  A little awkward.

Thanks,
Greg
