xwmfs-0.81.ebuild

I'd like to add my package xwmfs to Portage.

It is xwmfs (X window manager file system), a userspace file system based on
fuse that allows interaction with an EWMH compliant X11 window manager
via files.

Some of its features are:

- newly appearing and disappearing windows in the X server are recognized and
  the file system is updated in an event based manner
- new values for properties of window manager and windows will be reflected in
  the file system in an event based manner
- properties of windows and window manager can be changed via writing to files
  in the file system
- some X operations are accessible via control files in the file system

The ebuild I will attach is based on the net-fs/sshfs ebuild.

FWIW, s/CDEPEND/RDEPEND/ and it will be better.

To me it sounds ideal for an overlay for a start.

"xwmfs is currently not broadly tested. Thus it is not necessarily very stable."
