add descriptions for some programs in /rocks
I've added descriptions for the programs I'm familiar with in
the suckless.org/rocks and added the program mpop there, which I
think rocks. Also I've updated and simplified my script hosted on
/dmenu/scripts/.

# title: dmenu_websearch
# license: CC0
# author: Sunur Efe Vural <[email protected]>
+# version: 28/11/2018
+# some dependencies: dmenu, xdotool, hexdump, xprop, pstree, setxkbmap
-# This is a simple shell script which spawns a browser-independent
-# address bar. The dmenu_websearch bar can follow a URL, search the web,
-# and read bookmarks from a bookmarks file. If the cursor is not focused
-# to a web browser, it will open the URL or the search term with the
-# default browser. If the cursor is focused to a browser, be it terminal
-# or graphical, it will act as the address bar of that browser.
-
-# The reason of me writing this script is to have the same address bar
-# for all browsers which allows me to have one simple bookmarks file and
-# same address bar settings and behaviour for all browsers. w3m, links,
-# lynx, dillo, etc. don't allow you to perform web searches with their
-# built-in address bar. With dmenu_websearch bar I don't have to use
-# their built-in address bars. Also having to enter a URL or search term
-# without first openning a browser is convenient and faster.
