-Notes
------
-If [plan9port](
http://plan9.us/) is found at runtime, wmii will use an
-alternate controlling script, written in
-[rc](
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/rc.html). `rc.wmii` supports a
-`rc.wmii.local` convention which allows you to keep local customisations
-separate from the main script so you don't have to merge them every time
-`rc.wmii` changes.
-
-It is optional, the default `wmiirc` depends on only standard unix tools,
-however - `rc.wmii` is better supported. All the code snippets/color schemes
-on the site are written in rc and need some syntax adjustment to work in the
-standard `wmiirc`.
