Ion is a window manager dividing the screen into frames rather than having
overlapping windows, much like the windows in Emacs. Navigation between
clients can be done solely using the keyboard without need for a mouse.

"PWM is a rather lightweight window manager. It has the unique feature
that multiple client windows can be attached to the same frame. This
feature helps keep windows, especially the numerous xterms, organized.
Being a lightweight window manager with emphasis on usability, PWM
does not have all the features that one might expect from a window
manager. Those features are simply unnecessary. PWM does not provide
pixmapped themes or other bloated eye candies but has a clean and
simple look inspired by BeOS and Motif. There are no icons and frames
cannot be iconified, only "shaded". Only one pointer focus mode is
supported: sloppy. PWM does not even have titlebar buttons and may
not be the easiest window manager to get into; most good things are
not.
PWM has workspaces, menus and Window Maker dockapp support. It has
pretty good keyboard support and almost all of the functionality is
configurable."
first component is now a package name+version/pattern, no more
executable/patchname/whatnot.
While there, introduce BUILD_USES_MSGFMT as shorthand to pull in
devel/gettext unless /usr/bin/msgfmt exists (i.e. on post-1.5 -current).

Ratpoison is a simple Window Manager with no fat library
dependencies, no fancy graphics, no window decorations,
and no flashy wank. It is largely modelled after GNU
Screen which has done wonders in virtual terminal market.
All interaction with the window manager is done through
keystrokes. ratpoison has a prefix map to minimize the
key clobbering that cripples EMACS and other quality
pieces of software.

Qt-based configuration utility for bbkeys to replace the simplistic
terminal-based one included.

Provide keyboard shortcuts for X11R6, specifically intended for use with
the Blackbox window manager but usable with any.
Can bind actions such as executing commands, altering the states of windows,
switching workspaces, etc. to arbitrary keys.
Note: since the basic package does not install the qt-based configuration
tool, bbkeys ought to be invoked with the -noqt option unless you also
install the wm/bbkeys-qt package.

using the newest PNG library won't work on system with an older one. To
prevent such problems with precompiled binary packages require at least
"png-1.0.9nb1" in all dependences.
Convert most MESSAGE files to new syntax (${VARIABLE} gets replaced,
not @VARIABLE@, nor @@VARIABLE@@).
By default, substitutions are done for LOCALBASE, PKGNAME, PREFIX,
X11BASE, X11PREFIX; additional patterns can be added via MESSAGE_SUBST.
Clean up some packages while I'm there; add RCS tags to most MESSAGEs.
Remove some uninteresting MESSAGEs.
