Ping, plus updated tarball with a couple minor patches to remove
compiler warnings.

Testing and/or OK appreciated.

I still haven't been able to contact the original author, but all
source license files are either under the original MIT license from
fvwm & twm or have the following clause:

  /* Copyright 1996 TakaC Hasegawa. No restrictions are placed on this code, */
  /* as long as the copyright notice is preserved */

The only exception is mlvwm/wild.c which is stated to be released in
the public domain. So, there should actually be no issue with me
starting to modify the code to bring it up-to-date.
