getting cabal to pass more info to haddock

[Conal Elliott]

Thanks.  Looks simple enough, and I compiled up a version that works this
way.  I don't know how to get ghc to use it.  When I "./setup install", I
get Cabal-1.1.7 registered, but my ghc-6.6 wants to use Cabal-1.1.6instead.

Worse, I unregistered 1.1.6, and now I can't use cabal at all with ghc.  Do
you know how get 1.1.6 back short of re-installing ghc?

BTW, I noticed in the function "haddock" in Distribution.Simple, the line
"++ programArgs confHaddock", which leads me to suspect that there's an
approach getting extra Haddock arguments passed by tweaking my Setup.lhs.
Is that so?

Cheers,  - Conal
