This patch adds the possibility to use a argb visual for the conky
window. Adding a boolean configuration entry 'own_window_argb_visual'.
the 'set_transparent_background' method sets the alpha bytes of the argb
color for transparency, instead of pseudo transparency. This patch
would close following feature request:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1563931&group_id=143975&at
id=757311 and would be a workaround for some reported transparency bugs
(https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1968923&group_id=143975&a
tid=757308 for example)

Adds minimum version check for XMMS2 client libs. I couldn't get it to
check exact version cause pkg-config gets confused with XMMS2's version
number containing spaces.. Anyway it's better than not check at all.

While testing, I found two already existing bugs:
* the variable 'a' passed to iconv_convert() needs to be passed by
reference in order to allow for the desired side effect.
* Somehow the trailing junk after an iconv_conversion to a shorter
string messes things up (and gets printed!). I couldn't exactly find
out why this happens, but setting (*p) = 0; solves this problem.
Create each thread upon registration of the callback function, then use
semaphores to signal when it's time to update and when updating is
finished.
Many thanks to pavelo who originally came up with the idea for this.
All ERR()'s are renamed to NORM_ERR() and box to mbox so that they don't
clash with things in ncurses.h .
Ncurses is enabled by default when building conky but can be disabled with
--disable-ncurses .
At the moment configure doesn't check if ncurses is actually available.
I'm adding support for ncurses so that we can make as much things as possible
that are only available in X11 also available in console in the future.
From the automake docs:
"Note that you must arrange for every AM_CONDITIONAL to be invoked every time configure is run -- if AM_CONDITIONAL is run conditionally (e.g., in a shell if statement), then the result will confuse automake."
Added support for X alignment across multi-lined objects (i.e., using
$alignr with $exec). This may be a bit buggy. Disabled OpenMP code
until GCC's implementation stabilizes (it's causing too many problems).
A couple Lua API changes.
First of all, we may or may not agree, but I consider reverting my
commits without prior discussion as a minimum unpolite.
I also don't like sites that oblige to register, thats the very reason
why I went with noaa first (and why I use that myself).
Howver, weather.com has a couple of nice features forom an user
viewpoint:
1. Their icons can be used to add a visual quality to the weather
report.
2. They have forecast data, which is not possible to have with noaa
(using TAF its an option, but its going to be very difficult and will
be limited in time and scope).
Nobody is obliged to do anything, people who likes noaa will use noaa,
people that don't mind register or wants the additional benefit will use
weather.com.
Having libxms2 as a dragged depends is, first of all, also with other
options (rss and eve), second we can try to work around it with an
additional compilation flag if really deemed necessary.
This reverts commit d872562942.
I am not really comfortable with adding support to the conky-code
for sites that only work when you register, that's more something
for in a script.
But the biggest reason I undid the commits is that it is now
impossible to compile conky with support for weather if you don't
have the xml libs installed. Users used to be able to compile with
support for weather (using the other site) without xml2.
If you really want to include this other site in the conky code
then split WEATHER in WEATHERCOM and WEATHERNOAA (altough my personal
opinion is that weather.com should only be supported with scripts)
