New option -a (append) for hasktags

Hello, when using the hasktags program as advertised in the users manual, e.g. find -name \*.\*hs | xargs hasktags the tags file(s) get repeatedly truncated when there are so many files that xargs calls the hasktags program more than once (because otherwise there would be too many command line arguments). I have patched hasktags to accept a new command line option -a --append append to existing CTAGS and/or ETAGS file(s) which makes hasktags to append to existing tags file(s) instead of truncating it. With this patch, it is possible to index the whole darcs tree for ghc (including all libraries) using the following command: find -name \*.\*hs | xargs hasktags -a I will 'darcs send' the resulting patch and hope this patch will be applied. Thanks, Martin
