- A source tree can optionally be populated with more packages, which will be included in the build as normal. At the moment, the only packages you can add in this way are:
ALUT, HGL, HUnit, OpenAL, OpenGL, QuickCheck, X11, cgi, fgl, haskell-src, html, mtl, network, parsec, time, xhtml
because we're still using GHC's build system to build packages rather than Cabal. When we switch to using Cabal to build packages inside a GHC build, then it will be possible to populate the tree with any Cabal package.
Possibly we could also distribution an "extra libs" source bundle containing these packages.
Just a question: Will it still be possible to have an Haddock index of _all_ installed libraries without hassle? I know haddock supports this, but how easy will it be to achieve that?
