xlayout
xlayout is a terminal-based utility to get and set information about X11 windows and the pointer. It's designed to be easily integrated into bash shell scripts and takes advantage of the X11 protocol to allow it to access remote X11 desktops. With the aid of the libease library, xlayout provides the ability to smoothly ease the windows and pointer into position.

Changes: This release is a major overhaul. Updates have been made to refine the commandline arguments to be more intuitive. The custom build system has been replaced with automake to support cross-platform compiling. xlayout now properly integrates into libease to provide smooth easing motions when the pointer is moved or the window resized or repositioned. The large struct used before has been broken down to better represent the data contained inside each section. Internal functions have been renamed to be more clearly understood.
