 |Might be worth throwing the code with your patches onto github and

Well Alex Hioreanu is himself on github now (hioreanu), and offers
ahwm in a slightly adjusted version.  He offered me maintainership
once i wanted to create an OpenBSD package for ahwm (must have
been 2011, then), but i am no way classified for being the
"upstream" of a X11 window manager.

Nonetheless i have spent some time to get the thing done with -W
-Wall -pedantic -O2 with gcc(1) 6.4.0, and applied some more fixes
that i seem to have applied manually whenever i compiled it in the
last six years, but which did not happen all too often.  It is
browsable [1] and cloneable[2] at my VM (for) now.  It would
benefit from some love, as can be seen from looking at the code,
but luckily i have never done that for real.  So if you want to
test it, a snapshot of the master branch[3] should be usable.

  [2] https://git.sdaoden.eu/scm/ahwm.git
  [3] https://git.sdaoden.eu/cgit/ahwm.git/snapshot/ahwm-master.tar.xz

I can even append a shortened version of my ~/.ahwmrc to make it
even easier.
Ciao.
