I like this proposal. This is actually more like what Ian has proposed
before. We'll have to do a bit of merging but it's probably worth it
if we can continue to develop with a stable GHC version. They way I
understand it we'd also be tying Haddock major releases to the GHC
release cycle, but that's OK with me.

I'll put a git repository on http://code.haskell.org/haddock with
these branches, and backup the darcs repository somewhere, and you'll
decide when you want to switch?
