I poked around the cabal docs for a bit, and I didn't see any obvious
way to get cabal to check for the presence of certain headers. Also, if
the headers weren't there, we couldn't really do anything anyway, other
than fail with a friendlier error.

I wonder if the Xinerama module should be a separate package anyway.
What do you guys think about that?
