Cabal's userguide used to be in docbook, which our build system knows
how to build. Now it's in markdown, which it doesn't.

There's no reason in principle that we couldn't add markdown support,
though. I don't know OTTOMH what output formats are supported, or what
platforms the tools are available on.

Perhaps we should also consider converting the GHC user guide to
markdown.
