Own version of slstatus.
57f69e900b
Even if we extend the flag to be an n-flag with a numerical input, we
already have other Unix-tools to take care of us much more flexibly,
e.g. with head(1) you can easily get the first 10 outputs with
slstatus -s | head -n 10,
but also e.g. discard the first one and then get the consecutive 10
outputs.
For the X11-root-window-name, you can limit the runtime with timeout(1)
or a comparable solution.

Requirements
------------
In order to build slstatus you need the Xlib header files.
Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (slstatus is installed into the
/usr/local namespace by default). Uncomment OSSLIBS on OpenBSD.
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install slstatus (if
necessary as root):
make clean install
Running slstatus
----------------
See the man page for details.
Configuration
-------------
slstatus can be customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the
source code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
Todo
----
Cleaning up the whole codebase it the goal before thinking about a release.
