The patch changes the path where the manual pages are compiled, resulting in
a tree structure that follows the man-db convention: the man pages of each
language are stored in a subdirectory of the main man path. For example, the
input file "$AWESOME_SRC/manpages/awesome.1.fr.txt" would be compiled as
"$BUILD_DIR/manpages/fr/man1/awesome.1". The installation step just copies
the resulting directory (in the example, "$BUILD_DIR/manpages/") into the
global man path of the system, excluding the temporary files.
The input .txt files for the translations are not added directly to
AWE_MAN_FILES: instead, the new variable AWE_MAN_LANGS stores the language
names and their input file names are generated automatically. The main
reason of this modification is that it was more convenient for my testing
purposes: this behaviour can be changed back with minor modifications to the
code. This patch is supposed to be a first draft, after all, and it is far
from being perfect, but I hope it is of help.

awesome
=======
awesome is a highly configurable, next generation framework window manager for X.
Building and installation
-------------------------
After extracting the dist tarball, run:
make
This will create a build directory, run cmake in it and build awesome.
After building is finished, you can install:
make install # you might need root permissions
Running awesome
---------------
You can directly select awesome from your display manager. If not, you can
add the following line to your .xinitrc to start awesome using startx
or to .xsession to start awesome using your display manager:
exec awesome
In order to connect awesome to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec awesome
(This will start awesome on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
Configuration
-------------
The configuration of awesome is done by creating a $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/awesome/rc.lua file.
An example configuration named "awesomerc.lua.in" is provided in the source.
Troubleshooting
---------------
In most systems any message printed by awesome (including warnings and errors)
are written to $HOME/.xsession-errors.
If awesome does not start or the configuration file is not producing the desired
results the user should examine this file to gain insight into the problem.
