Hi everyone,
I just wanted to update you all.
I am in the middle of a major Refactoring of the code.  I decided the
best thing for ALL users (not just Tori OS) would be to restructure
everything.
I am going to make this program more independent from Tori OS, so other
distros can use it if they like.
This will also benefit people using regular Ubuntu installs (like Mini
ISO) as it will not require the separate files for each portion of the WM.
I will simply be parsing the user's .jwmrc file (though I will try to
parse the default one as well installed with JWM.
I think this will help allow the users (not just ToriOS users) to find
this program more valuable and let it scale well to other systems.
I understand the workings of JWM's configuration much better than I did
when I started (it happens when you pour over the XML file and read the
documentation many times)

So, that said the release will be delayed some... however.  I do have a
working CMake configuration.  It can still be installed on a system by
branching it, and running:

cmake -GUnix\ Makefiles

and then

make

The first command configures it, and the second 'makes' it.
You can also do 'sudo make install'
if you choose to... but at this stage I highly recommend not doing this
unless it is on a VM you can throw away.
Everything *should* work and install correctly... however, I cannot say
for sure if it will or not.
You will need to install build-essentials and cmake (obviously) as well
as some other things (libfltk1.3 and libfltk-images1.3... and that
*should* be it)
But, if you really want to test everything... just wait until I get
closer to being finished with this current iteration
