upgrade to dwm 6.8

dwm with some patches
I've been using dwm 6.5 for a while now, so I thought it was about time I upgraded to dwm 6.8.
Ideally I'd settle for a horizontal scrolling wm as my Thinkpad screen is small, but after flirting with nwm I'm staying with dwm for now.
I've added a few patches and shortcuts that make it easy for me to circulate between windows and workspaces. I haven't added the xrdb patch this time, instead I added the colorbar patch which nicely colours the dwmblocks status bar and keeps things simple. Many of the tiling patches I added to 6.5 have been left out as I just don't use them. On a small 1366x768 screen splitting it renders it useless so instead I use the monocle layout by default and switch workspaces with super+right and left, and switch windows with super+up and down.
It's up on my git server if you are interested.
