Issue 81: X11-1.3.0 won't build on OSX 10.4 without altering X11.cabal 
to point to /usr/X11R6/lib
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=81

New issue report by hitesh.jasani:
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. untar X11-1.3.0
2. 'runghc Setup.hs configure --without-xinerama', configure correctly
finds X libs in /usr/X11R6/lib
3. 'runghc Setup.hs build' fails

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expected that the build would succeed, but it fails because it no longer
knows where to pick up the X libs.  BTW, Cabal also issues a warning about
build-type being an unknown field.

% runghc Setup.hs build
Setup.hs: Warning: Unknown field 'build-type'
Preprocessing library X11-1.3.0...
/usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lX11
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
linking Graphics/X11/Types_hsc_make.o failed
command was: /opt/local/bin/ghc-6.6.1 -lX11 Graphics/X11/Types_hsc_make.o
-o Graphics/X11/Types_hsc_make
Setup.hs: got error code while preprocessing: Graphics.X11.Types



What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

X11-1.3.0.tar.gz on an Intel Macbook running OSX 10.4.  GHC is ver 6.6.1
and Cabal is 1.1.6.2.

Please provide any additional information below.

If I add the line 'extra-lib-dirs:  /usr/X11R6/lib' to the bottom of
X11.cabal, the build will succeed and I can install fine.  But I'm not sure
why I should have to do this since Cabal had correctly figured out 
where my
X libs were during the configure step.

If this error is due to a module from XMonadContrib, please tag this issue
with 'Component-Contrib' below.
