validate requires haddock to be installed

A validate of a recent GHC HEAD on a machine that didn't have haddock installed ended with the report:

if ifBuildable/ifBuildable ghc-prim; then \
  cd ghc-prim && setup/Setup haddock --html-location='../$pkg' \
                               ; \
fi
Setup: haddock version >=0.6 is required but it could not be found.
make[1]: *** [doc.library.ghc-prim] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/tn/tn/GHCDarcsRepository/ghc-HEAD-complete-20080503_0226/ghc/libraries'
make: *** [stage1] Error 2

This requirement is not mentioned on http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Prerequisites and ought, if kept, to be checked and reported in the initial configure phase.

Best regards Thorkil
