> You should be able to pass --haddock-options to "Setup configure".

Interesting. It would be nice if 'Setup haddock --help' would mention
that, especially since 'Setup configure --help' doesn't mention haddock
by name (I even looked into the Cabal sources, saw the hardcoded HaddockFlags, and gave up; too early, it seems).

It does mention it by name actually:
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

Thanks, I seem to have missed that final paragraph.

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

For my issue (build failure with insufficient stack space for haddock
called via cabal), it would have been sufficient if 'Setup haddock --help'
would have pointed to 'Setup configure --haddock-option(s)' - a simple
but useful documentation improvement.

Thanks,
Claus
