haddock suggestion -- %{FILE}

[Conal Elliott]

The only pre-processing is what's caused by using the cabal directive
"Extensions: CPP".   Using "./setup haddock --verbose ...", I get lines like

c:\ghc\ghc-6.6\bin\ghc.exe -E -cpp -optP-P -o
dist\build\tmp\src\Graphics\UI\TV\Input.hs src\Graphics\UI\TV\Input.hs
-Dmingw32_BUILD_OS -Dmingw32_HOST_OS -Di386_BUILD_ARCH -Di386_HOST_ARCH
-D__GLASGOW_HASKELL__=606 -D__HADDOCK__

When I try this preprocessing myself, I find that I *do not* get the Haskell
line pragma:

bash-3.2$ ghc -E -cpp -optP-P -o z src/Graphics/UI/TV/Input.hs
-Dmingw32_BUILD_OS -Dmingw32_HOST_OS -Di386_BUILD_ARCH -Di386_HOST_ARCH
-D__GLASGOW_HASKELL__=606 -D__HADDOCK__; head -3 z
{-# OPTIONS -fglasgow-exts -cpp #-}

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Fiddling with flags, I see that -optP-P is the culprit.  Removing it:

bash-3.2$ ghc -E -cpp -o z src/Graphics/UI/TV/Input.hs -Dmingw32_BUILD_OS
-Dmingw32_HOST_OS -Di386_BUILD_ARCH -Di386_HOST_ARCH
-D__GLASGOW_HASKELL__=606 -D__HADDOCK__; head -3 z
# 1 "src/Graphics/UI/TV/Input.hs"
# 1 "<built-in>"
# 1 "<command line>"
bash-3.2$

Any ideas?  - Conal
