It would be nice to have a page that lists everything included in every HP

All this information must exist somewhere, it's just not easily viewable on
the web.
http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/changelog.html
There's a Cabal file somewhere specifying all the package in the
platform (including binaries like Happy.)
I'm pretty sure there used to be a link to the .cabal file somewhere,
but now I can't seem to find it. Instead, I had to navigate to the Unix
download page, download the source tarball, untar it (non-trivial under
Windows), and hunt around for the .cabal file. And *then* I can find out
what's in [the current release of] HP.
It would be nice if there was a table on the website somewhere that I
could just glance at to get the same information.
[Also, regarding the page linked above... Who the hell uses <strong> for
section heading?! Why wou-- oh, wait. It's Pandoc? I guess that also
explains why we have ASCII-art arrows ["->"] rather than real arrows
["→"]. And presumably this stuff is written by hand, becuase GHC is
missing an arrow...]
