Ah , this is a good point you raise.  The contrib repository will only
work with the darcs version of xmonad. You'll need to install the darcs
version of X11-extras and xmonad, to use it.

In future, we'll tag and release stable versoins of the contrib module,
along with each release of xmonad itself.

I think you certainly could :-) We've written a fair bit about how you'd
go about doing this, so dive in. :-)
