Please continue working on this patch, it is appreciated.
When it mostly works it can be put into libsl and dmenu and dwm.
If possible please make the first iteration compatible with the current API.
This would make reviewing easier.
Afterwards it's no issue (although preferably not) if some API changes are
needed.
Reducing the changes would make this easier to review, as this code and also
Xft etc are finicky (as you probably can already tell :)).
