I discussed offlist with Jukka about all these things. In the
meantime I re-created dwm.h, and things get more complex agein,
just only to get the ability to include simple patches. That's
also why I postponed the 4.6 release.

So listen, even if you all dislike this from a matter of taste,
BUT I will remove dwm.h again, - if you write patches,
include them as separate .c files into config.h, that's the way
things are going. This provides you the simpliest way to patch
dwm without touching anything else than config.h, even if it
looks odd from a C point of view.

There are too many drawbacks in separating everything to dwm.h,
it makes things far more complicated than that it helps.

Sorry for the noise.
