[dwm] horitzontal split layout

I have written a new layout which i find very useful in two situations:

 - Vertical panoramic screens (9:16)
 - Working with terminals and dont want to loss the width.

The layout is quite simple and integrates very well with monocle. So it
can be used as a 'window selector' before switching to monocle layout.

Here's the layout code:

http://news.nopcode.org/hsplit-5.1.c

And my config:

http://news.nopcode.org/dwm-config.h

void
hsplit() {
        Client *c;
        unsigned int i, n;

        for(n = 0, c = nexttiled(clients); c; c = nexttiled(c->next), n++);

        if (n)
        for(i = 0, c = nexttiled(clients); c; c = nexttiled(c->next),i++)
                resize(c, 0, (showbar?bh:0) + ((wh/n)*i), ww-(c->bw<<1), (wh/n)-(c->bw<<1),0);
}

My configuration is:

static Layout layouts[] = {
        /* symbol arrange function */
        { "[=]", hsplit }, /* first entry is default */
        { "[M]", monocle }, /* first entry is default */
        { "[]=", tile }, /* first entry is default */
        { "><>", NULL }, /* no layout function means floating behavior */
};
...
        { MODKEY, XK_t, setlayout, {.v = &layouts[2]} },
        { MODKEY, XK_m, setlayout, {.v = &layouts[1]} },
        { MODKEY, XK_e, setlayout, {.v = &layouts[0]} },
        { MODKEY, XK_space, setlayout,
{0} },

You can use 'meta'+'space' to switch between monocle and hsplit

PD: I think that the patches available in the wiki are a bit outdated and needs to be
upgraded to the 5.x series. Well. some of them are outdated like my mouseontitle which
is not useful anymore with 5 because the feature is included in mainstream. Do you want
to maintain old patches keeping the support for old dwm versions?

Feedback is welcome :)

Enjoy!
