I think it'd be perfectly reasonable to follow the lead of autoconf here and have slightly finer grained control with respect to the kinds of files we're installing. Autoconf distinguishes docs (and various kinds of docs, html, ps, pdf, man etc) from the generic datadir.

So yes, if you want to extend cabal in this direction I'm happy to review patches.

Ok, I'll give it a try, but it'll take a while (a week or two). First I've to get all the OpenBSD ports updated (including horrible workarounds for the missing docdir option). Everything else would be maintainance hell for me ;-)

Anyway, what are the requirements/whishes?

- Just docdir, maybe htmlsubdir or haddocksubdir - Or docdir and separate htmldir / haddockdir - Something more flexible

Ciao, Kili
