The latest version of persistent-mongoDB on hackage works now. After we get
some more usage it will be added as a scaffolding option. Here is some basic
runner code:

import Database.Persist.MongoDB
import Database.MongoDB.Connection
import qualified Database.MongoDB as DB

runMongo :: MongoDBReader (GGHandler M M IO) a -> GHandler M M a
runMongo x = liftIOHandler $
  withMongoDBConn (DB.Database "test") "127.0.0.1" $ runMongoDBConn x
DB.safe DB.Master
