It *is* hard to build the documentation, but luckily ghc releases are
also accompanied by documentation releases. Some useful docs for 6.4 are at:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/documentation.html
including:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/libraries.html.tar.gz
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/users_guide.ps.gz
Cheers,
Don
