Replace the symlink configuration scheme with a simple yacc parser as
found in other places of the tree.  Remove sticky and font commandline
options and add another one for alternative config locations.
Split off cwmrc(5) from cwm(1), nuke #ifdef __OpenBSD__ while there.

tested by various kind people, feedback from oga@ and okan@ - thanks!

-.It Pa ~/.calmwm/.autogroup
-Symlinks in this directory are read upon startup and control the
-automatic grouping feature, which is based on the window name and class
-properties.
-To obtain the name and class of a window, use
-.Ql xprop WM_CLASS ,
-then click on the window.
-The first quoted string is the window name; the second one is the

-The name of a link can be the window class, or the window class and name
-separated by a comma.
-The link target is a group name (one, two, \&..., nine).
-For example, to make all windows in the
-.Xr xterm 1
-class go to the third group:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent

-.It Pa ~/.calmwm/.settings
-Files in this directory cause various configuration options to be
-set or unset.
-Currently the only setting availiable is whether or not sticky groups
-are activated.
-To activate sticky groups create a file in this directory with the name
-``sticky''.
-.It Pa ~/.calmwm/.ignore
-Any files in this directory cause
-.Nm
-to ignore programs by that name by not drawing borders around them.
-For example the command
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-$ ln -s three ~/.calmwm/.ignore/xclock
-.Ed
-will cause any instances of
-.Xr xclock 1
-to not have borders.
-.It Pa ~/.calmwm/.keys
-Symlinks in this directory cause the creation of keyboard shortcuts.
-The default shortcuts will always be created. In case of conflict, 
-user-defined shortcuts take precidence.
-The name of a link here is first the modifier keys, followed by a ``-''.
-The following modifiers are recognised:
-.Bl -tag -width Ds
-.It Pa C
-The Control key.
-.It Pa M
-The Meta key.
-.It Pa S
-The Shift key.
-.It Pa 2
-The Mod2 key.
-.It Pa 3
-The Mod3 key.
-.It Pa 4
-The Mod4 key (normally the windows key).
-.El
-The ``-'' should be followed by either a keysym name, taken from
-.Pa /usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h ,
-or a numerical keycode value enclosed in ``[]''.
-The target of the link should be either the name of a task from the
-``name_to_kbfunc''
-structure in
-.Pa conf.c ,
-or, alternatively it should be the commandline that is wished to be executed.
-A special case is the ``unmap'' keyword, which causes any bindings using the 
-named shortcut to be removed. This can be used to remove a binding which conflicts
-with an application.
-For example, to cause
-.Ic C-M-r
-to add a label to a window:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-$ ln -s "label" ~/.calmwm/.keys/CM-r

-Launch an xterm running
