546,look for haddock in ghc's bin dir before using findExecutable,duncan,,"With current versions of haddock it's important to pick a version that's consistent with the ghc in use. Normally we use `System.Directory.findExecutable` to find tools like `haddock`. However on Windows, the Win32 `SearchPath` function looks not just in the `%PATH%`. It looks first in the directory where the .exe of the current process lives (which might either be `runghc.exe` or it might be `cabal.exe`) and only secondarily in the `%PATH%`.

So, for ghc, Cabal should look for haddock first in ghc's bin dir and then if it's not there, use `findExecutable` to look in various other places.
