coot/multiple package (ghc-head) (#1419)
* FromJSON class
Aeson style FromJSON class with Parsec based json parser.
* doc-index.json file for multiple packages
When creating haddock summary page for multiple packages render
doc-index.json file using contents of all found 'doc-index.json' files.
* Render doc-index.json
When rendering html, render doc-index.json file independently of
maybe_index_url option. doc-index.json file is useful now even if
maybe_index_url is not `Nothing`.
* base url option
New `Flag_BaseURL` which configures from where static files are loaded
(--base-url). If given and not equal "." static files are not coppied,
as this indicates that they are not read from the the directory where
we'd copy them. The default value is ".".
