wmii does not compile #267

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download latest source using hg/git mirror
2. Install libixp 0.5 from suckless.org
3. Attempt 'make'

What is the expected result? What do you see instead?

wmii should build without error, but it complains of:
lib/libstuff/clientutil.c:48:2: error: ‘IXP_ASSERT_VERSION’ undeclared
  IXP_ASSERT_VERSION;
 ^

A quick look at libixp showed that it is designed to throw that error when the 
api's have changed and are probably incompatible. Where do I get the correct 
version of libixp then?

Hi, there's a separate project here on google code for libixp
https://code.google.com/p/libixp/

Thanks, guess I was wrong to assume the latest on suckless.org was the correct 
version.

Considering that (by default at least - I have no idea what libixp does so 
maybe it isn't necessarily a dependency if you change compile flags) libxp is 
needed for wmii and at least a portion of newcomers to wmii will (like me) be 
coming from the suckless page (which shows a link to the incorrect version of 
libixp), maybe a link to the project on google code should be added to this 
page: https://code.google.com/p/wmii/source/checkout

Anyway, I can't see how to close this issue, but I consider it fixed :)
