Well I updated dmenu in hg tip, I decided against a separate -b
flag, but I decided that if the y argument is negative, this
means, that y is interpreted as bottom line, e.g.

   dmenu -y -800

creates dmenu wth the bottom at 800px.

I introduced one magic argument as well

  dmenu -y -0

creates dmenu magically at the screen bottom.
