Ayee.  Hm.  Now I remember why I didn't upgrade X11-extras to darcs
HEAD:

marcie% make pull 
darcs pull
Pulling from "http://darcs.haskell.org/~sjanssen/X11-extras"...
No remote changes to pull in!
chmod +x Setup.lhs

Then:

marcie% make build 
./Setup.lhs clean

Perhaps I shouldn't be using Xinerama on OSX?  This time, Google has no
suggestions.
