Building extra-libs using Cabal

The Haskell libraries are gradually moving towards being buildable using
Cabal, rather than by GHC's make system. This is good. But here are
two bug reports telling what doesn't work:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/893
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/894
(missing Setup.hs, and/or Haddock parsing errors). Ross has fixed some
of these (thanks!).
This message is to invite package maintainers to work on fix the
remaining glitches. (We won't undertake to fix this for GHC 6.6,
because these packages can be upgraded separately.)
The relevant packages are:
Haddock errors: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/894
network
xhtml
opengl
openal
alut
Missing Setup http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/893
arrows
fgl
haskell-src
html
hunit
mtl
quickcheck
time
Thanks!
Simon
