Hey all,
The dmenu_path.c in patches seemed a bit long and complex, so I wrote
my own. It's 100 lines, versus the other's 376. It might be a couple
of milliseconds slower, it's difficult to tell -- but in my opinion
its simplicity makes up for that. Source attached.

horizontal scrolling.
This approach (which imho is the least of many evils) requires
the Arg union to be a struct, to allow the scroll() function
to use both .b and .i as arguments.
I think that horizontal scrolling via the keyboa

Good point. I personally use 78 because, if you follow the Python
suggestion of 79 characters and reserve 1 more character for +/-/>
indicators in diff(1) output, then your code will be readable in
terminals, editors, and also in pat
