[xmonad] Question about using things in xmonad-contrib-bluetilebranch-0.8.1.2

Thank you for the advice. Installation of the darcs version of Xmonad went
fine, but I ran into a snag when I tried to install the darcs version of
XMonadContrib:

darcs get http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib
cd XMonadContrib/
runhaskell Setup.lhs configure

...after that last command, I got this message:

Configuring xmonad-contrib-0.8.1...
Setup.lhs: At least the following dependencies are missing:
utf8-string -any

So I did "cabal install utf8-string", which ran without errors. Then I
retried "runhaskell Setup.lhs configure" and got the same error. Any
suggestions?

Thank you in advance,
Amy
