+ XMenu
+
+XMenu is a menu utility for X.
+XMenu receives a menu specification in stdin, shows a menu for the user
+to select one of the options, and outputs the option selected to stdout.
+XMenu can be controlled both via mouse and via keyboard. The menu is a
+pop-up menu (that is, after selecting an option, the menu disappears).
+
+Check out my other project, xclickroot[0] for an application that can
+spawn xmenu by right clicking on the root window (i.e. on the desktop).

+
+
+§ Features
+
+XMenu comes with the following features:
+• XMenu reads something in and prints something out, the UNIX way.
+• Submenus (some menu entries can spawn another menu).
+• Separators (menu entries can be separated by a line).
+• Icons (menu entries can be preceded by an icon image).
+
+
+§ Files
+
+The files are:
+• ./README: This file.
+• ./Makefile: The makefile.
+• ./config.h: The hardcoded default configuration for XMenu.
+• ./config.mk: The setup for the makefile.
+• ./demo.gif: A gif demonstrating how XMenu works.
+• ./xmenu.1: The manual file (man page) for XMenu.
+• ./xmenu.c: The source code of XMenu.
+• ./xmenu.sh: A sample script illustrating how to use XMenu.
+• ./icons/: Icons for the sample script
+
+
+§ Installation
+
+First, edit ./config.mk to match your local setup.
+
+In order to build XMenu you need the Imlib2, Xlib and Xft header files.
+The default configuration for XMenu is specified in the file config.h,
+you can edit it, but most configuration can be changed at runtime via
+X resources. Enter the following command to build XMenu. This command
+creates the binary file ./xmenu.
+
+ make
+
+By default, XMenu is installed into the /usr/local prefix. Enter the
+following command to install XMenu (if necessary as root). This command
+installs the binary file ./xmenu into the ${PREFIX}/bin/ directory, and
+the manual file ./xmenu.1 into ${MANPREFIX}/man1/ directory.
+
+ make install
+
+
+§ Running XMenu
+
+XMenu receives as input a menu specification where each line is a menu
+entry. Each line can be indented with tabs to represent nested menus.
+Each line is made out of a label and a command separated by any number
+of tabs. Lines without labels are menu separators.
+
+See the script ./xmenu.sh for an example of how to use XMenu to draw a
+simple menu with submenus and separators. The file ./demo.gif shows how
+the menu generated by that script looks like.
+
+Read the manual for more information on running XMenu.
