BTW, you may be pleased to know that the latest version of Cabal lets you use (a restricted form of) wildcards in the extra-source-files field.
Great! When will we see a doc-files category?
When people can agree on some conventions on how to build various formats of documentation. We have all these easy conventions for source code; we pretty much know how to build a .hs file without needing custom build rules for every package. For documentation however there is much less consensus or common convention. What do I do with a .xml file? Is it xhtml, or do I need to do something obscure with docbook? This would be an excellent area for someone to take charge, look at the current common uses and see if there is a way of making the common simple stuff easy. Duncan
