[dwm] dzen and/or statusbar gadget: dbar

Hi,

here is another simple gadget that you can use in combination with dzen
or dwm's statusbar.

It is a general purpose progressbar, perfectly suited to be used inside your
scripts, that displays the piped in values numerically and in a semi graphical
way.

Options:
     -m : Value to be considered 100% (default: 100)
     -w : Number of charcaters to be
              considered 100% in the bar (default: 25 )
     -s : Symbol represeting the
              percentage value in the bar (default: = )
     -l : label to be prepended to
              the bar (default: '' )

Usage examples:

 1) If your 100% mark changes dynamically:
   
   echo "50 150" | dbar
         ^ ^
         | |__ max. value
         |
         |__ value to display

   Output: 33% [======== ]

 2) Static 100% mark:

   echo 25 | dbar -m 100 -l Sometext

   Output: Sometext 25% [====== ]

 3) Multiple runs:
    
    for i in 2 20 50 75 80; do echo $i; sleep 1; done | dbar | dzen2

        Output: Find out yourself.

Have fun, Rob.
