Add new category wm for window managers, and move lots of package from
x11 here. Only changes are: `wm' in category added and some paths fixed.

+ tvtwm is a superset of the X11R5 release of twm (Tom's Window Manager),
+written by Tom LaStrange. Much of the early functionality, which is
+described in more detail in README.old, was added by Tom LaStrange himself.
+Since then, tvtwm has fallen under my control, and I've added some things
+myself.
+
+ Why doesn't tvtwm have version numbers, and only has patchlevels? I
+don't know. History, I suppose. But, for information's sake, that is
+effectually the version number. In this case, pl11.
+
+ The major benefit of tvtwm over twm is the "Virtual Desktop". This
+allows you do define a substitute root window that is larger than your
+display area. This new virtual root window is the parent for all of your
+X clients. tvtwm provides a "Panner" which will let you see a scaled down
+representation of the whole virtual desktop. Using this panner, and keys
+bound to functions added to tvtwm, you can move around this desktop to
+have your physical display showing only part of the whole desktop. Thus,
+you can have sections of your desktop assigned to particular tasks, or
+just use it to keep from having 20 million layers of windows. :-)
+
+ Many other things are discussed in README.old. Please look there for
+further information. The more recent changes have been documented on an
+item-by-item basis, and these changes can be found, not surprisingly, in
+the CHANGES file.
