There is still an error after running
cabal update
cabal install cabal-install
cabal  install xmonad-extras

I was expecting to have to issue a 
grovelling apology for not having 
run the update first.

However the attempt to install fails again

This is mainly a compatability release, because I forgot to add upper
version bounds on the dependencies in the previous release, which
caused a build failure due to a new version of the libmpd-bindings.

This version also adds XMonad.Config.Alt by Adam Vogt, a new,
experimental approach to configuring xmonad that is intended to make
the configuration simpler, more modular and to address difficulties
that arise when enabling multiple extensions.
