I don't think that the present location of XConfig is a barrier to a
good haddock documentation. Do I miss something?

(btw, I documented each record field of XConfig in a patch that has
been committed yesterday, and I've just discovered that the darcs
version of haddock[1] properly deals with newtype deriving, which
means that everyone may be generating the haddock documentation.)

Did you see the work I'm doing with documenting all this stuff[2]?
