#2373: Build fails to pass locations of external tools to libraries

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
I am trying to build GHC 6.8.3, and the default version of Haddock on my
system is 2.0.0.0. I have Haddock 0.9 installed as
`/usr/bin/haddock-0.9`, but `libraries/Makefile` does not pass this
information down to the libraries it is building. I am already running
the top-level `configure` script with the `HaddockCmd` environment
variable set appropriately (and verified in the output from `configure`
and inspection of `mk/config.mk`), so it's a simple matter of passing the
information along.
I have attached a patch that passes the build's configured versions of
Alex, Haddock, and Happy down to Cabal for each library. This fixes the
problem for me, and I think it ought to apply to HEAD as well as to the
6.8 branch.
