Changes
=======

1) win.h, winmultiwindowwindow.c, winmultiwindowwndproc.c,
winscrinit.c, winwindow.h - Improve move, resize, minimize, maximize,
and restore operations on windows in multiwindow mode.  Reorganize
message/event flow, add new scheme to propagate window changes between
Windows and X layers, eliminate bunch of conditional branches and
cache variables.  A couple of bugs should be fixed.  (Takuma
Murakami)

2) winmouse.c - Properly clear the internal mouse button map when the
mouse device is closed.  (Takuma Murakami)

3) winmultiwindowwndproc.c, winprefs.c, winprefs.h, winwndproc.c -
Stop passing customized menus to DefWindowProc.  Although it does not
cause visible problems so far, it should be inhibited.  Apply a mask,
which is described in MSDN, for wParam in
winTopLevelWindowProc/WM_SYSCOMMAND handler.  (Takuma Murakami)

4) winconfig.c, winconfig.h, winprocarg.c - Add some xkb settings
(rules, model, layout, variant, options) to the commandline options
and parse them even with configfile support turned off.  (Alexander
Gottwald)

5) xc/lib/font/fontfile/dirfile.c, encparse.c, fontfile.c - Some more
font path checks.  (David Dawes)

6) winmultiwindowwm.c - Make MultiWindow Window Manager detectable
from other wm's as well as allowing it to detect other wm's.  (Takuma
Murakami)

7) xc/lib/font/fontfile/dirfile.c - Fix an exploitable buffer
overflow.  (Greg MacManus (iDEFENSE Labs))
