looking into how to integrate the shiny new wmgenmenu into 
wmaker.inst, i came to the conclusion that doing what debian does 
is a better way.

in short, in debian, "wmaker" is a shell script similar in purpose to 
wmaker.inst, as in it does the user-level setup *if needed*, then it 
just execs the real wmaker.

i think we should adopt this. it more or less completely replaces 
wmaker.inst, except wmaker.inst will modify your 
.xinitrc/.Xsession/something else too. we could keep a wmaker.inst 
that is stripped so that only does this part, while the "wmaker" you 
rutinely run actually does user-level setup. i don't even need to say 
that this by no way means modifications to one's existing setup (maybe 
you get a new directory or file, but only if you haven't had them 
before, no modifications or "new versions" of anything you have 
pre-existing).
