I'm using it with the stock wmii-3.1.

I simply included Ruby-IXP in ruby-wmii, and it will get installed under
$HOME/.wmii-3/lib when you run ruby-wmii's install.rb, so you need not care
about installing the correct version manually. I'll svn update the bundled
Ruby-IXP periodically, making sure that everything work OK. 

I just upgraded to 1.0.3 from 0.1, and the only change I had to do was one
s/read_all/read/.

Yes.

They'll also work unmodified.

In general, everything works without any changes.  Only plugins that parsed
the output from   wmiir read   called on a dir would be affected, but I doubt
anybody (but me, in the temporary-selection plugin :) did that since it was
ugly anyway.
