It does mention it by name actually:
$ runghc Setup configure --help
[..snip..]
--with-PROG=PATH give the path to PROG
--PROG-options=OPTS give extra options to PROG
--PROG-option=OPT give an extra option to PROG (no need to
quote options containing spaces)
The flags --with-PROG and --PROG-option(s) can be used with the following
programs:
alex ar c2hs cpphs ffihugs ghc ghc-pkg greencard haddock happy hmake hsc2hs
hscolour hugs jhc ld nhc98 pkg-config ranlib strip tar
I didn't think people would want to see 42 lines of stuff like:
--with-ar=PATH
--ar-options=OPTS
so we factor out the program, but we do list all the programs it applies
to (which is every prog used by cabal, and any given in Setup.hs).
We added the --PROG-options= to the build command against my better
judgement on request for the ghc build system. Options given to build do
not persist in the saved configuration, while those given to configure
persist to subsequent build/haddock/install/register commands.
If you want something similar for haddock perhaps you can tell us about
your use case here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/196
