[xmonad] Call for xmonad.hs

[Ismael Carnales]

Excellent, the noborders extension is practically a must in every
configuration, also I think DynamicLog could be in core, who whats a WM
with no Worspace names, urgent hints or another things? That could
attract more users that only use Haskell for this great WM (i'm on the
road of fixing that :) )

I'll use this to ask for and old doubt of mine, what's
the difference between DwmPromote and Promote??

void in the Xmonad Wiki, my configuration:
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Config_archive/void's_xmonad.hs
and BTW: why is it in the old configuration archive??

byebye!
