random questions while packaging...

As I'm building the Mac OS X installer, some questions have arisen, I'm hopting the Haskell-Platform team can answer:

* Licenses: The installer shows the license file that came with the GHC installer (BSD3 for the compiler, and LGPL for GMP lib). Do we want/need to have any other license appended to it?

* Haddock w/Source: I'm using --hyperlink-source when I generate the doc that is installed. This uses hscolour which isn't part of the distribution (and so, builds with the version installed on my build machine) Does this feel like bad form?

* HUnit's execs: HUnit builds and packages three executables that are really tests: basic-tests, extended-tests, terminal-tests. These end up in the user's bin dirs! I was thinking of just explicitly removing them from the installer image.

* cabal-install: What's up with it being commented out?
