several "extralibs" packages fail haddock step

[duncan]

The following packages fail the haddock build step:

• haskell-src
• network
• quickcheck
• time
• x11
• xhtml
• opengl
• openal
• alut

They are mostly parse errors. This was tested with haddock-0.7 and also exactly the same results with haddock-0.8_rc1.

I presume that this is setup haddock, rather than using the GHC makefiles.

In xhtml, the package description doesn't conform to Haddock syntax. (This requirement is not mentioned in the Cabal documentation). I can't fix this, as the directories are not writable by group darcs.

For haskell-src, QuickCheck, time and X11, a CPP extension needed recording (now done).

For network, OpenGL, OpenAL, ALUT (and GLUT?) the problem seems to be that cpphs isn't being passed the -DCALLCONV option set in the buildinfo file.

I've fixed the permissions on the xhtml package.

Not blocking 6.6, so milestone _|_

The xhtml Cabal file is fixed now.

I think this is fixed now. The last change was a fix in Cabal for how the cpp was done before running haddock.
