Comment (by David):

 Yes.  Please, please, please incorporate this improvement into the
 distribution.  Even if later on after #560 is fixed there's an even better
 way to do it, for now, some sort of way of installing source code is
 needed.

 Really, the "documentation: True" option in the config file is barely
 useful without source code, because most packages do not contain
 sufficient haddock documentation to be useful without occasionally peeking
 at the source.  Yet one of the great things about haskell is that it's
 very easy to understand other people's source.

 So please either apply this patch, or make --hyperlink-source (#534) the
 default.  Please don't wait for the perfect solution to come along before
 enabling some sort of way of installing source code with cabal install.
 The functionality is too critical to defer.
