1. Why exactly does haddock fail?

I think it never actually tries to build the Haddock docs for the actual package of interest because its dependencies failed to build. Here's the GLFW-b build log: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/GLFW-b/1.0.0/logs/failure/ghc-7.... ... Running Haddock for bindings-DSL-1.0.16... ... Running Haddock for th-lift-0.5.5... ... * Missing C library: Xxf86vm These messages are from the build of bindings-GLFW, a dependency of GLFW-b. Due to the missing library, bindings-GLFW's build fails. So GLFW-b's does too. I guess I think the build failure should be noted, but that Hackage should go on and build the docs anyway.
