I just successfully built scroll and it seems to do the same thing that
GNU screen and other multiplexers do, which is wrap lines when the
terminal window is cut in dwm. This isn't quite what I personally would
want; I would prefer if the lines didn't wrap, but just the information
that is cut out is redrawn when the window size is expanded. Kindof like
how `less -S` works. But this will require some tinkering on my part, I
think :)
