[xmonad] Patch: changes in Prompt and new module

[Carlos López Camey]

Hello,

please find attached the following patch.

I have a question in case it gets applied. I'd like to improve the
mode to search for files (locate isn't fast/good enough). So far I
thought of tracker [0] and recollq [1] but as noted none seemed 100%
right. I thought of loading the db written by 'updatedb' in the memory
[2] but I don't know if that's acceptable as xmonad tries to stay
lightweight.

cheers,
 Carlos

[0] it would be fast, but it needs to add dbus as a dependency
http://projects.gnome.org/tracker/
[1] the query language doesn't apply to file *names* only (it works to
search for terms *in* files) http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/
[2] my mlocate.db is 37M for a 1.5TB disk

  * Changes on XPrompt:

      * Adds mkPromptWithModes, creates a prompt given a list of modes
(list of XPType).

      * Adds Setting `alwaysHighlight` to defaultXPConfig. When set to
true, autocompletion always highlight the first result if it is not
highlighted.

  Adds module XMonad.Actions.Launcher. This module allows to combine
and switch between instances of XPrompt. It includes a default set of
modes which require the programs `hoogle`, `locate` and `calc` to be
installed to work properly.
