Add support for reading and writing interface files(!) This turned out to be quite easy, and necessary to get decent hyperlinks between the documentation for separate packages in the libraries. The functionality isn't quite complete yet: for a given package of modules, you'd like to say "the HTML for these modules lives in directory <dir>" (currently they are assumed to be all in the same place). Two new flags: --dump-interface=FILE dump an interface file in FILE --read-interface=FILE read interface from FILE an interface file describes *all* the modules being processed. Only the exported names are kept in the interface: if you re-export a name from a module in another interface the signature won't be copied. This is a compromise to keep the size of the interfaces sensible. Also, I added another useful option: --no-implicit-prelude avoids trying to import the Prelude. Previously this was the default, but now importing the Prelude from elsewhere makes sense if you also read in an interface containing the Prelude module, so Haddock imports the Prelude implicitly according to the Haskell spec.
