Nice tool! It works as described. Thank you.
I needed this patch to be able to compile it:
diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile

I found this fix here [1]. `imlib2-config` is deprecated if I got it
right.
And it wasn't obvious to me that I have to exit croptool via dwm to get
some output. It would be nice if it supported a common shortcut like
Ctrl-q to quit.

For those interested in a solution using feh + sx4 + ImageMagick: I
hacked togehter this little wrapper script. It's far from perfect as it
depends on:
- xdotool being installed
- my shortcut to hide the status bar
- same being visible when the script is started
- a German keyboard layout.
But it works for me :-)
Usage:
crop-image ~/Pictures/cropme.png /tmp/cropped.png
