[xmonad] (sub)layout set up

[Henrique G. Abreu]

Thanks Quentin, I've got sublayout working with Adam's help at #xmonad.
I've noticed this "limitation" you said about tabbed being the outer
layout, but it's no big deal.
The feature I really missed was a way to auto-group some windows,
by matching them in the manageHook or something like X.L.ComboP does.
