[Haskell-cafe] Combining databases from packages installed with cabal install

[Christopher Done]

This is awesome, thanks for sharing. Related issue:
https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/395

I added --force-reinstalls --reinstall and ran

time (for i in `ghc-pkg list | sed 's/    //' | grep '^[^(]' |  grep -v
':'`; do hoogle-install $i; done)

To generate hoogle entries for all my installed packages.
