Magnus,

A giant thank you from me as well. This is a huge upgrade that goes well
beyond your usual excellent work.

If it helps at all, Arch has patches for xmonad that will allow 0.11.1
to compile. I built it locally and it seems to be working flawlessly.
All that was necessary was to bump the upper bounds of an acceptable
utf8-string from '< 0.4' to '<=1':

diff -aur xmonad-0.11.1/xmonad.cabal xmonad-0.11.1.new/xmonad.cabal
