window manager improved 2 (wmii) is an improved, modularized and
lightweight X11 window manager which supports tabbed, tiled and
conventional window management through layouts.
wmii consists of components that are independent processes and
communicate via a socket-based virtual filesystem which is oriented on
the "everything is a file" paradigm of the plan9 operating system.
The core distribution of wmii contains the window manager itself, a
master file system routing utility (wmifs), a generic bar (wmibar), a
shortcut handler (wmikeys), and a generic interaction menu (wmimenu)
beside several tiny utilities like wmir, wmiplumb, and wmiwarp.
Changes:
* integrated changes from Dushkin (thanks!):
* scrolling the mouse wheel in the taskbar now task switches
* integrated changes from Antti Nykänen (thanks!):
* fixed a crash that occurred on the BSDs (and presumably on other
systems without /proc/self/exe)
* integrated changes from Gregor Imboden (thanks!):
* fixed a crash that ocurrred when there are no focused windows
and alt + F12 is pressed was fixed
* events are always replayed rather than sometimes being eaten
* new windows are no longer given focus

cwm is a window manager for X11. It was originally inspired by evilwm,
but was rewritten from scratch due to limitations in the evilwm codebase.
The from-scratch rewrite borrowed some code from 9wm. cwm contains many
new features which all concentrate on the efficiency and transparency of
window management. cwm also aims to maintain the most simplest and
pleasant aesthetic.
as the INSTALL and DEINSTALL scripts no longer distinguish between
the two types of files. Drop SUPPORT_FILES{,_PERMS} and modify the
packages in pkgsrc accordingly.
file's sole purpose was to provide a dependency on pkg-config and set
some environment variables. Instead, turn pkg-config into a "tool"
in the tools framework, where the pkg-config wrapper automatically
adds PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to the environment before invoking the real
pkg-config.
For all package Makefiles that included pkg-config/buildlink3.mk, remove
that inclusion and replace it with USE_TOOLS+=pkg-config.
