Installing and configuring dwm on OS X

Install XQuartz (http://xquartz.macosforge.org) which is the development version of the X11.app that ships with OS X, which means it is way more up to date. I have had some weird issues with X11.app v. 2.3-something. XQuartz 2.5.0 fixed that.
Install dwm from Homebrew, brew install dwm. This makes a bunch of necessary tweaks to the DWM configuration.
Add the following script to $PATH, name it dwm-launch and chmod 755:
```
cd ~
```

while true

You can use strace on a specific pid to figure out what a specific process is doing, e.g.:

strace -fp <pid>

You might see something like:

select(9, [3 5 8], [], [], {0, 999999}) = 0 (Timeout)

Ok, I geeked out, and this is probably more information than you need. But it completely answers the question. Sorry. ☺

Locally, I'm at this commit:

When I added FIRST/NEXT/LAST, it was idiomatic but not quite so fast. This makes it faster. Another little bit of masak++'s program.

	#!/usr/bin/perl
	# Usage: perl opml2org.pl "My OPML File.opml"
	use XML::Parser;
	binmode STDOUT, ":utf8";
	$xp = new XML::Parser();
	$xp->setHandlers(Start => \&start, End => \&end);
	$xp->parsefile($ARGV[0]);

	$indent = 0;

	#! /usr/bin/env python

	""" Convert values between RGB hex codes and xterm-256 color codes.

	Nice long listing of all 256 colors and their codes. Useful for
	developing console color themes, or even script output schemes.
