Re: [dwm] [patch] Stack columns patch for dwm-4.4.1

The intention of supertile is to _replace_ tile. So there must
only be a change in config.mk (s/tile/supertile/) and in
config.h (s/tile/supertile/) - that's it already. There might be
more extension points in the keys definitions of course.

Anselm
