There are a number of links to OGI folks that are broken in that version 
of the mtl (i.e. all of them).

     Control.Monad.Error (this one's a link to Andy Gill's page)
     Control.Monad.Identity
     Control.Monad.RWS
     Control.Monad.Reader
     Control.Monad.State
     Control.Monad.Trans
     Control.Monad.Writer


But notably, the latest version in Hackage has them all corrected (and a 
good deal more documentation in general). This release is about a year 
old even. I don't know who's in charge of the mtl these days, but it 
looks like a lot of the italicization for paper titles is broken 
(Haddock requires both the opening and closing slashes to be on the same 
line).

     http://hackage.haskell.org/package/mtl-1.1.0.2


Unless there's some reason for Hugs to be maintaining its own version of 
the mtl separate from the one on Hackage, I think the best thing may be 
to just replace the http://cvs.haskell.org/Hugs/pages/libraries/mtl site 
with redirects to Hackage. Of course, the same could probably be said 
about many of the libraries shown there since the the site doesn't look 
to have been updated since 2003. I suppose the question is if there are 
any remaining Hugs developers to make the changes (and release a new 
version :) ?
