[dwm] EWMH code would enable some code cuts

I think an implementation of EWMH would make it possible to remove the
dwm panel (the one that reads stdin and displays it) from dwm code base.

In that way dwm would be smaller (or maybe just break even) and more
symmetric with how dmenu is fitted to the equation today. It would also
allowe the user to choose whatever kind of "panel" he or she wants. That
is an escape and dpanel (or some other name maybe) would not have to be
counted in the ridicules 2 kloc limit. :P

But seriously, EWMH support with struts and all, should be on the top of
the list for dwm. EWMH is too important to be left to forks.

Something for 5.0?
