Comment:
FWIW, I think Daniel's idea isn't quite right.
In an ideal world, we could do configure && build && haddock && install -
but lots of packages might not work. They may need 2.0 Haddock instead of
0.8; they may use the -- ^ syntax for a 'type' declaration (a known
regression in Haddock 2.0, and a fatal bug); or something else entirely.
So documentation could *easily* fail to build even when the
library/executable works perfectly.
A better approach would be to build and install, and if that works, go
back and try to build Haddocks in a way non-prejudical to the overall
build process. (In my shell scripts, it looks something like "configure &&
build && install; haddock && install".)
