Richard Grenville 46dfd1a766 Misc: Add Asciidoc man pages
Add Asciidoc man pages. The old man page is still kept, and you need to
run "make docs" to generate the new man pages and a HTML version of it.
An Asciidoc man page for compton-trans is not added yet.

Richard Grenville b59e592588 Feature: #7: VSync
- Add VSync feature. 3 possible VSync methods available: "sw" (software,
  not too reliable, but at least you have something to fallback to),
  "drm" (using DRM_IOCTL_WAIT_VBLANK, should work only on DRI drivers),
  "opengl" (using SGI_swap_control extension OpenGL, might work on more
  drivers than the DRM method). "sw" and "opengl" are briefly tested,
  "drm" received utterly no test (because I use the nVidia binary blob).
  They are enabled with "--vsync sw" / "--vsync drm" / "--vsync opengl".

- Add --refresh-rate to let user specify a refresh rate for software
  VSync, in case the automatic refresh rate detection does not work
  well.

- Seemingly the automatic refresh rate detection using X RandR in
  software VSync detects refresh rate incorrectly. Need further investigation.

- Fix a few bugs in fading timing.

- Add a workaround for client window detection on Fluxbox, as Fluxbox
  (incorrectly?) sets the override-redirect flag upon all frame
  windows.

- Software VSync adds dependency on librt (a part of glibc) for
  nanosecond-level timing functions, and libXrandr for automatic refresh
  rate detection; DRM VSync adds dependency on libdrm to use its drm.h,
  but does not link to libdrm; OpenGL VSync adds dependency on libGL.

- Print timing information on DEBUG_REPAINT.

Richard Grenville ee9e90efec Feature: Configuration file parsing
- Add support for parsing configuration files using libconfig.
  (Dependency on libconfig could be made optional once we get some
  better building system.) Few tests has been done, bugs to be expected.
  compton searches for a configuration file mostly according to the XDG
  standard. Firstly the configuration file requested by --config, then
  $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/compton.conf (~/.config/compton.conf, usually), then
  ~/.compton.conf, then compton.conf under $XDG_DATA_DIRS (often
  /etc/xdg/compton.conf). A sample configuration file is supplied as
  compton.sample.conf. Configuration file syntax may change in the
  future.  Commandline switches has higher priority than configuration
  file, except for --shadow-exclude. Use --config /dev/null to
  temporarily disable configuration file.

- Fix a bug that causes windows to disappear or be partially rendered on
  opacity changes.

- Fix a bug that causes some windows to ignore -i (inactive_opacity) and
  --inactive-dim, caused by the default window type change in
  a5d9955ca4.

Richard Grenville 0d6724385e Feature: Issue #29: Alternative shadow blacklist implementation
- Add shadow blacklist feature, but a different implementation from
  nicklan's. 5 matching modes (exact, starts-with, contains, wildcard,
  PCRE) and 3 matching targets (window name, window class instance,
  window general class). Not extensively tested, bugs to be expected.
  It's slower for exact matching than nicklan's as it uses linear search
  instead of hash table. Also, PCRE's JIT optimization may cause issues
  on PaX kernels.

- Add dependency to libpcre. Could be made optional if we have a
  graceful way to handle that in Makefile.

- Some matching functions are GNU extensions of glibc. So this version
  may have troubles running on platforms not using glibc.

- Fix a bug that access freed memory blocks in set_fade_callcack() and
  check_fade_fin(). valgrind found it out.

- Use WM_CLASS to detect client windows instead of WM_STATE. Some client
  windows (like notification windows) have WM_CLASS but not WM_STATE.

- Mark the extents as damaged if shadow state changed in
  determine_shadow().

- Rewrite wid_get_name(). Code clean-up.

- Two debugging options: DEBUG_WINDATA and DEBUG_WINMATCH.

- As the matching system is ready, it should be rather easy to add other
  kinds of blacklists, like fading blacklist.

Richard Grenville f5aed89a67 Bug fix: Issue #36: Chromium window painting problems
More descriptions on issue #36.

- Listens ShapeNotify event to get around the Chromium window painting
  issues.

- Adds dependency on X Shape extension.

- Adds a few functions for convenience, so a bit code clean up.

- Better event debug support, adds restack_win() debug.
