Oh golly. I never put DrIFT on cabal, apparently whomever tried to

just drop the documentation from the package altogether. It is things
like that that make it very hard to get behind cabal, why was DrIFT
crippled just so it can be put on cabal? If cabal wasn't powerful
enough
to compile DrIFT, and we already had a perfectly good way of compiling
it, why the need to shoehorn it in and cause this problem? sigh.
Blaming Cabal for Audrey doing a quick-and-dirty translation (because
she didn't have a whole lot of time to spend online and wasn't really
familiar with Cabal or Hackage) is just digging for excuses.
