need --htmldir conifiguration
ghc's makefiles currently ignore --htmldir overriding it to $(docdir)/html: this is also noted in comments for autoconf .backward compatibility.
Since only html is generated by default distro packagers probably prefer to drop the html/ subdir and just install the html docs straight to docdir. Having a working --htmldir configure options would allow this without fragile build hacks.
