Thank you!

At this stage, I'm primarily looking for feedback if what I had done
made sense and was a good solution to the problems I'm attempting to
address.  I'm outside of my wheelhouse.  I don't dabble in the realm
of graphics.  I'm more of an embedded and kernel dev.  But if you
want to plug in another monitor and try out my changes a try, please
do!

I can see about giving the documentation an update if the code changes
pass the sniff test and have a shot at eventual integration in one form
or another.

I've never used cmake directly either.  I just used "make".  I'm on
Linux (Fedora 41) if that makes a difference.  I'm not sure why it
decided to invoke cmake under the covers, but it's a simple enough
error of omission with the md->adoc rename that's trivial to fix.

To reproduce:
$ git clone g...@github.com:fullermd/ctwm-mirror.git
$ cd ctwm-mirror
$ mkdir /tmp/ctwmX
$ make CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/tmp/ctwmX install

It took several days, but it's back up.
