I support this bug, and so there's probably going to be an HConf
upload to Hackage soon. It seems to me that XMonad could probably drop
the custom loading code in favor of this library.

New issue 276 by Will.Donnelly: HConf should be a standalone package
http://code.google.com/p/yi-editor/issues/detail?id=276

This should be a fairly self-explanatory suggestion. With the fixes
detailed in issues #274* and #275**, the HConf code is fully capable of
being used as a standalone component in any project. All that remains is
the process of setting it up for Cabal, and uploading it to Hackage.

Benefits to the Yi project would include decreasing the quantity of
non-editor code in the main distribution, as well as making it easier for
others to use HConf, which in turn leads to a higher-quality library.

A tarball of a basic Cabal setup for HConf is included. Many of the usual
fields are left blank due to my not knowing the correct answers, but the
package is complete and capable of being built and installed. (And used by
other projects, naturally)
