I think you can probably set the flags for the it much more nicely via http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/Cabal/1.16.0.3/doc/html/Distribution-Simple-Program.html and the haddockProgram record.

heres an example Setup.hs that does something very, similar, in this case making sure that "-pgmc clang" is passed to ghc always.

that should help!

The difference is you'll probably want this manipulation to be using the haddockHook field in http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/Cabal/1.16.0.3/doc/html/Distribution-Simple.html instead of the buildHook field.

I hope that helps! :) 

(while you're at it, adding the -pgmc clang thing from my example setup.hs would probably prevent the funny build errors I was hitting, :) )

Distribution.Simple.Setup.HaddockFlags(haddockProgramArgs) is a [(String, [String])]. What does it mean?

I've got a package with a largish file which makes haddock blow it's stack, so it needs ghc rts options. I can do this on the command line with +RTS -K32M -RTS. Can I bake it into my package somehow? I'm trying messing with the haddock flags in the haddockHook in the package description, but I'm not getting the result I want.

Thanks,
