The darcs repo containing David's new version of Haddock, which works via the 
GHC API, is here:

   http://darcs.haskell.org/SoC/haddock.ghc/

As I understand it, it's still not completely stable, but it'll be easier to 
work on now that the GHC changes are in the HEAD.  I'm sure David would welcome 
any offers of help or (probably later) willing testers.

Cheers,
