OK, lets go for that.

Please find attached an updated patch taking into account all of your
earlier comments.

In the mean time I've found that to generate the documentation an
additional step is required (phase haddock; the name is also the name
of the tool used to generate the doc). I've added a keyword argument
#:haddock? with default value of #t and #:haddock-flags for doc
specific flags.

The documentation is in the form of html files and does seems to
require a fair amount of space. Some random examples:

- mtl libs: 1.2MB / doc: 0.772MB
- text libs: 13MB / doc: 1.7MB
- HTTP libs: 3.9MB / doc: 0.804MB
- network-uri: libs: 1.5MB / doc: 0.168MB
- parsec libs: 3.1MB / doc: 1.1MB

Given that I'm starting to package a bunch of libraries, do we want to
generate a separate output for all of them?

Fede
