Description

Golem is an X11 Window Manager. Design goals are that it be fast and lightweight, as well as very customizable in any way that will not prevent the first goal from being realized.

Notable features:

Small memory footprint
Multiple disjoint large virtual desktops
Xinerama support for multimonitor screens
Supports various focusing styles (sloppy, pointer, click)
Useful stuff for multiscreen displays (special focus cycling modes, etc)
Window decoration customization (theming) with multiple decoration styles (dgroups)
Hotkeys
Plugins

*: add LDFLAGS overide that was previously in mk

This is a workaround and should be fixed properly per-package - they should use the pkgsrc LDFLAGS, but this restores what happened before the mk/ cleanup. Fixes relro build for packages that do not honor LDFLAGS. Package list provided by mef@, thanks! Workaround commit requested by bsiegert on tech-pkg.
