That's a valid remark. But instead of constructing the string
again, I consider changing Rule as follows:

typdef struct {
        const char *class;
        const char *instance;
        const char *title;
        const char *tag;
        Bool isfloating;
} Rule;

This allows for faster matching. Expect it happen in a rather
soon 4.9 release.

The setgeoms definition will be moved to config.h as proposed
some minutes before I did the release ;)
