Sounds great. I successfully built and run the new X11 package here on
i386. I also modified the xmonad package to use update-haskell-control.

When trying to do the same with the xmonad-contrib package, I get this
problem:

update-haskell-control
Couldn't find a package to depend on for libghc6-x11-xft-dev
exit: ExitFailure 1
make: *** [update-generated-files] Fehler 1

As you can see on
http://darcs.nomeata.de/XMonadContrib/xmonad-contrib.cabal
there is a flaggable dependency on X11-xft that haskell-utils seems to
take for real. I see in the haskell-utils code that it just takes all
mentioned dependencies, whether applied or not. 

I also see that there is a special casing for Win32. Would it be
possible to add more stuff there via an update-haskell-control command
line flag? Or should I just patch out the unused flag from the cabal
file before running update-haskell-control?

Thanks for the nice work.

Greetings,
Joachim
