should haddock.ghc be a sub-repo of ghc?

I think its likely that if someone makes a change that effects
haddock.ghc, then David is the person to fix it up. What I think is
more useful is nightly builds, and that isn't just useful for
haddock.ghc, its useful for Yhc, Hugs and everything on hackage!
Perhaps rather than shove another tool into the GHC tool chain,
perhaps someone can setup buildbots in a way that we can easily add
projects to the list?

Thanks

Neil
