[Haskell-cafe] Github support for cabal files

[Joris Putcuyps]

Hello everybody

I'm looking for a way to avoid having two files with almost the same
information on github: README.markdown and package.cabal.

As far as I can tell, a new github README parser[1] can be written,
but it only supports README files with different extensions and requires
either ruby or a script which converts stdin into html.

Another solution would be that haddock supports a README file, just
like github, as the index.html of the cabal package.

Github houses a lot of cabal packages so more people could benefit from
this solution.

Greetings

Joris
