--- Find the mouse pointer on the screen.

-- <p>To enable this feature, a <code>awful.mouse.finder</code> object needs to
-- be bound to a key:<br/>
-- <code>mymousefinder = awful.mouse.finder()</code><br/>
-- Then bind the <code>find</code> function a key binding.
-- <p>Some configuration variable can be set in the theme:<br/>
-- The mouse_finder display duration<br/>
-- <code>theme.mouse_finder_timeout = 3</code><br/>
-- The animation speed<br/>
-- <code>theme.mouse_finder_animate_timeout = 0.05</code><br/>
-- The mouse_finder radius<br/>
-- <code>theme.mouse_finder_radius = 20</code><br/>

-- <code>theme.mouse_finder_factor = 2</code><br/>
-- The mouse_finder color<br/>
