One way is to use the Haddock interface files that are distributed with
GHC.  I haven't put any effort into making the process easy yet -
ideally Haddock should consult GHC's package database to find the
interface files, but it doesn't currently do this.

You'll find Haddock interface files in the same location as the
documentation when you install GHC (eg.
/usr/share/ghc-<version>/html/base/base.haddock on a Linux system).
