+Haddock documentation
+---------------------
+
+The documentation is in DocBook XML format. You need some tools to
+process it: at least xsltproc, and the DocBook XML DTD and XSL
+stylesheets. There's a configure script to detect the right way to
+process the documentation on your system, and a Makefile to actually
+do the processing (so, on Windows, you'll need Cygwin or MSys in
+addition to the DocBook XML tools). To build the HTML documentation:
+
+ $ ./configure
+ $ make html
+
+which leaves the HTML documentation in a haddock/ subdirectory.
+
+Printable documentation can also be produced, eg.:
+
+ $ make pdf
+
+or
+
+ $ make ps
+
+Generating the printed formats requires more tools (fop or xmltex) and
+tends to be a bit harder.
