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,
Simon
