New description:
The following programs installed with GHC (specifically, using the Mac OS
X installer, though I suspect this applies to all platforms) do not have
manpages:
* `ghc-pkg`
* `ghci` (Technically, its manpage is the same as `ghc`'s, but there's no
`ghci.1` symlink to `ghc.1`, so `man ghci` fails to find anything.)
* `haddock`
* `hp2ps`
* `hpc`
* `hsc2hs`
* `runghc`
* `runhaskell`
I think that's all of them.
I realize that not all of these programs (e.g., `haddock`) are truly part
of GHC, but the ones that are still need manpages. If the problem is that
writing *roff is hard, and you don't mind mooching off other languages,
might I refer you to [http://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod.html
POD]/[http://perldoc.perl.org/pod2man.html pod2man]?
