Announcing libviper and VWM

[Bryan Christ]

With special thanks to HP for their excellent commitment to open-source, 
I am happy to announce the release of libviper, VWM, Linsanity and it's 
dependencies under the GPL2.

Also, special thanks to Thomas Dickey and all on this list who put up 
with a year of questions from me :)

VWM - An extensible, window manager for the console.  Built on top of 
libpseudo and libviper, VWM is more visual alternative to Screen. 
Mozilla style plugins allow for simple expandability--follow a few 
simple API rules and drop your shared-object into a directory to have it 
added to the main menu.

libviper - An API for quickly developing console, curses based 
interfaces with mouse support (GPM).  It's a good alternative to the 
panels library.  The API preserves many of the familiar ncurses 
monikers.  It also provides, basic, GTK-like window signal handling.

libpseudo - Provides a simple, tunable, thread-like facility via a 
callback queue and a thread-safe, shared messaging queue.

Linsanity - Linsanity is a suite of test tools (VWM plugins) for 
stressing the Linux kernel and hardware (user-space code).  Currently, 
there is a NIC integrity and performance test and test for optical 
storage (read-only).

These projects are available at SourceForge via anonymous CVS
download and source tarballs (Linsanity tools coming soon...)

Obligatory Screenshots of vwm are also available on the SourceForge page 
for vwm.
