To enable this feature, a awful.mouse.finder object needs to -- be bound to a key:
-- mymousefinder = awful.mouse.finder()
-- Then bind the find function a key binding. --

Some configuration variable can be set in the theme:
-- The mouse_finder display duration
-- theme.mouse_finder_timeout = 3
-- The animation speed
-- theme.mouse_finder_animate_timeout = 0.05
-- The mouse_finder radius
-- theme.mouse_finder_radius = 20
-- The growth factor
-- theme.mouse_finder_factor = 2
-- The mouse_finder color
-- theme.mouse_finder_color = "#ff0000"
