I can't speak for your monad based approach, but you may be interested
in Neil Mitchell's Haskell DSL for build systems, called Shake:
http://community.haskell.org/~ndm/downloads/slides-shake_a_better_make-01_oct_2010.pdf

I have an open source implementation of it which has all the core
functionality at http://github.com/batterseapower/openshake. (Warning:
the code is quite ugly at the moment)

Cheers,
Max
