Distribution.Simple.Haddock

Description

This module deals with the `haddock` and `hscolour` commands. Sadly this is a rather complicated module. It deals with two versions of haddock (0.x and 2.x). It has to do pre-processing for haddock 0.x which involves 'unlit'ing and using `-DHADDOCK` for any source code that uses `cpp`. It uses information about installed packages (from `ghc-pkg`) to find the locations of documentation for dependent packages, so it can create links.

The `hscolour` support allows generating html versions of the original source, with coloured syntax highlighting.
