Description

If I do `cabal configure -w /path/to/ghc` and then run `cabal haddock`, it will try to use the `haddock` executable from `PATH` and will then complain about the version mismatch. Shouldn't we be able to figure out which `haddock` executable to use at the `configure` stage and then save that information in `setup.config`?
