Comment:

 I believe this was done last year.  The X11 package has the following
 patches:

 {{{
 Thu Mar 29 02:05:33 BST 2007  thedward at antejentacular.org
   * (X11.Graphics) More Int -> CInt cleanup ; Will break existing
 programs.

   This patch takes care of the rest of the Int usages.

   These changes break API compatibility. Existing programs will likely
   require (minor[1]) changes to compile once these changes are applied.

   [1]Mostly just switching from Int to CInt or using fromIntegral as
 appropriate

 Wed Mar 28 07:24:53 BST 2007  thedward at antejentacular.org
   * Changing Int to CInt and building with -D_XSERVER64 (when appropriate)

   I went through and weeded out all the Ints I could find, replacing them
   with CInts, adding fromIntegral calls as necessary.

   I modified configure.ac and X11.buildinfo.in to support detecting 64-bit
   systems. (inspired by the test in the xorg build).

   All these changes seem to make X11 much more useful on 64-bit systems.

   Most importantly, I've got xmonad up and running beautifully.
