With the previous emails in mind, I have a diff for the build script in
the ports tree if it would help. My xmonad.hs hardly changes these days.
If the build script actually recompiled xmonad every time instead of
quitting if xmonad.hs hasn't changed, I don't think this issue would
come up in the future.
