[Haskell-cafe] Github support for cabal files

Hello everybody I'm looking for a way to avoid having two files with almost the same information on github: README.markdown and package.cabal. As far as I can tell, a new github README parser[1] can be written, but it only supports README files with different extensions and requires either ruby or a script which converts stdin into html. Another solution would be that haddock supports a README file, just like github, as the index.html of the cabal package. Github houses a lot of cabal packages so more people could benefit from this solution. Greetings Joris [1]: https://github.com/github/markup
