Nah, just mine.  I guess it doesn't hurt anything to add distclean as
an alias.

That root level Makefile really is almost nothing; minus comments and
whitespace, it's 6 lines defining 3 targets.  One that runs cmake to
build the real make structure, one that blows away cmake's output, and
one that just takes one of (all build ctwm install clean) and passes
it along to cmake's build output.


> I think we can safely remove imlib support.

Yeah.  I almost think we get it for free with a cmake move; any system
that imconv is installable and running on, cmake isn't   ;)


ImageMagick probably isn't that easy to drop in; it easily replaces
imtools' command line converter programs, but ctwm is using the
library, and I understand that ImageMagick's API is not only twisted,
but also not very stable (I think that was the reason behind the
GraphicsMagick fork).  But considering how long it's been not
practical and nobody's hisses up a storm for a replacement, we
probably don't need one terribly urgently.

We already handle XPM and JPEG; libpng support could probably be
bunged up if anybody cared much about using PNG's.  I sorta wonder how
much use anything but XPM's for decorations even gets, but libjpeg
ain't going anywhere soon.
