I don't know about the latest and greatest release plans for the tools, so 
I'll leave this to SimonM.

Is this really needed? To build all tools and GHC, one only needs a working 
bootstrapping GHC, then Happy => Alex => Haddock => GHC can be built in this 
order. Or am I missing something?

That would be nice, although I never had any performance problems with Alex. 
But performance is always good... ;-)
