the case of the missing Cabal doc
In times of yore (prior to 7.8), when GHC build a bindist, it included the generated HTML manual for Cabal. As of 7.8, this seems to have gone missing-in-action. Anyone know where it went? - Mark

It was converted to markdown, and GHC's build system doesn't know how to build markdown docs. It's in libraries/Cabal/Cabal/doc/. Thanks Ian

Okay then... I can see how the GHC build doesn't want to depend on pandoc! I'll probably remove this from the Mac HP distribution, and then have the installed "Start Here" do just have a link to the cabal doc on the web. ...Unless anyone has a good, short markdown->html script that runs in the browser.... :-) - Mark
