I've written two patches:
The one (windowscroll) give you the possibitlity to switch beetween
visible clients by using your mouse wheel over the window title.
The other (selecttag) introduces the possibility to select the next or
previous tag while calling selecttag("1") or selecttag("1"). In the
patch this is used to select the next/previous tag by "wheeling" over
the tag buttons in the bar. selecttag could also be used to emulate
Alt+Left/Alt+Right.
I divided this into two patches, because i know that the second is not
the way you should use tags. But IMHO it is a way tag can be used.
