[dev] [PATCH] Add dmenu "confirmed output" command line options

From: Mark Oteiza <mvoteiza_AT_udel.edu>
Date: Sat, 3 May 2014 15:54:50 -0400

As all the other colors are configurable by options, so should the
outbgcolor and outfgcolor. While these colors are not usually visible
with one-off dmenus, it is nice have access to them for dmenu scripts
(especially vertical lists) for doing things with multiple menu items.
