    Invoke Haddock directly from the build system, instead of via Cabal · a4bef988

    Partly this is cleaner as we only have to preprocess the source files
    once, but also it is necessary to avoid Haddock recompiling source
    files when Template Haskell is in use, saving some time in validate
    and fixing a problem whereby when HADDOCK_DOCS=YES, make always
    re-haddocks the DPH packages.  This also needs an additional fix to
    GHC.
    
    HsColour support still uses Cabal, and hence preprocesses the source
    files again. We could move this into the build system too, but there
    is a version dependency that would mean adding extra autoconf stuff.
