 The Hoogle cabal file reads:

 {{{
 data-files:
     resources/*.js
     -- surely a Cabal bug that this isn't picked up by *.js
     -- but that hoogle.js is matched
     resources/jquery-1.4.2.js
     resources/jquery.cookie.js
 }}}

 It seems that the filename {{{a.b.ext}}} doesn't get picked by the
 wildcard {{{*.ext}}}.
