[RFC] Moving user's guide to ReStructuredText

You might consider the Racket documentation ecosystem: http://pkg-build.racket-lang.org/doc/scribble/index.html or http://pkg-build.racket-lang.org/doc/pollen/

The GHC docs in general could use some love. The navigation isn't that nice.

I really like the idea of having a readable raw format that renders nice. Editing is awful, yes, but we don't have to do it that often. But what matters much more to me, and in fact most GHC users, is searchability. I don't want to enter the user's guide via Google, and grepping through HTML is not very fruitful. A markdown-ish format gives us a lot of our usual tools to work with the manual. Huge +1 from me. David
