There was discussion on #xmonad to use a pure Haskell implementation of
the protocol rather than binding the C code. I haven't seen any actual
progress though.

I started on a library[1] to try to extract out the pure data structures
from XMonad (and attempted to fix bug #4 as well), but haven't had time.
The goal was to rebase XMonad onto it so that xmonad-contrib could use
be used for both, just switching the monad would be needed (some modules
would obviously need to be DM-specific).
