We are actually adding a hook for the 'runhaskell Setup haddock'
target, that is not affecting the build process anyhow.

I submitted a bug report to the cabal system, since I think there's an
agreement that binaries and libraries should have the same treatment
with regard to documentation generation.

We will see. For the time being the patch can be used by those who
want a good looking html first page. It does nothing more after all.
