Subject: [ANN] sunaku's Ruby wmiirc - YAML imports

Background:

  This is a Ruby[1] and YAML[2] based configuration of the wmii[3]
  window manager.  It manipulates wmii through the Rumai[4] library,
  which comes with an interactive shell[5] for live experimentation.

Announcement:

  I'm pleased to announce YAML imports, the next milestone in the
  evolution of my Ruby wmiirc:  <http://github.com/sunaku/wmiirc>.

  The big idea, suggested by Nathan Neff, is that the config.yaml file
  should be able to import other YAML files ("partials" as I call them).
  This allows us to share and maintain common code while having a
  different mix of status applets, keyboard shortcuts, color schemes,
  and so on.

  The YAML structure has also changed in this new version, so your old
  config.yaml will not work as-is.  In particular, the following
  incompatible changes have been made:

  (1) The "script" section now defines an array:

    # Arbitrary logic to execute either before or after processing this
file.
    # Any number of "before" and "after" subsections may be defined
within
    # this section.
    #
    #   script:
    #     - before: <Ruby code to execute before processing this file>
    #     - after:  <Ruby code to execute after processing this file>
    #     # ...
    #
    script:

  (2) Keys in the"display:status" section have changed, and the code is
  evaluated inside a Wmiirc::Status object (see "display/status.yaml"
  for details).

   # Status bar applets.
   #
   #   - <name>:
   #
   #       refresh:  <number of seconds to wait before updating the
label>
   #
   #       script:   <Ruby code to evaluate in the Wmiirc::Status
   #                  object that corresponds to this definition.>
   #
   #       label:    <Ruby code whose result is displayed as the
   #                  content.  This code is placed inside a
   #                  label() method in the Wmiirc::Status object
   #                  that corresponds to this definition.>
   #
   #       mouse_action:
   #         <mouse event>: <name of action>
   #
   # You can refresh a particular status bar applet in Ruby using:
   #
   #   Status["your applet name"].refresh
   #
   status:

  (3) The "control:grab" section was moved to
"control:keyboard:grabmod".

  (4) The "control:key" section was split into "control:action" and
  "control:keyboard_action" so that the same logic can be shared among
  keyboard shortcuts and mouse events.

   # Keyboard shortcuts.
   #
   #   <key sequence>: <name of action>
   #
   # A key sequence may contain ${...} expressions which
   # are replaced with the value corresponding to '...' in
   # the "control:keyboard" section of this configuration.
   #
   # For example, if the "control:keyboard" section was:
   #
   #   control:
   #     keyboard:
   #       foo: Mod4
   #       bar: y
   #
   # and the following key sequence was used:
   #
   #   ${foo}-${bar},${bar}
   #
   # then after ${...} expression replacement,
   # that key sequence would appear like this:
   #
   #   Mod4-y,y
   #
   keyboard_action:

  (5) The "program" section was renamed to "prefer".

  I think that's about it.

Cheers.
