Well I did tweak it a bit and its a little better.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
(load "command-log-mode")
(defun rusi/open-command-log-buffer ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((pop-up-frames t))
    (clm/open-command-log-buffer))
)
(add-hook 'haskell-mode-hook 'command-log-mode)
(add-hook 'inferior-haskell-hook 'command-log-mode)
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Since I currently want it to work in teaching haskell, I need it to kick in for haskell-mode and inferior-haskell-mode -- that explains the two hook setups.
The rusi/open-command-log-buffer is just clm/open-command-log-buffer advised to open in a separate frame.

I further wanted to make the frame look better eg no header, minibuffer etc.
However my attempts at hacking the frame commands are unsuccessful at a completely noob level and my question http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2013-06/msg00465.html is unanswered so far :-((
