RPX 1.2 available

[Thien-Thi Nguyen]

release notes:

  Like an ameoba, RPX oozes into the Guile 2.x on 32-bit system
  portability space (er, niche).  How long before it dehydrates and
  dies?  :-D

README excerpt:

  This is rpx, a port of ratpoison to Guile Scheme.
  Although initially intended as a proof-of-concept exercise
  to plumb ttn's ignorance of X11, Scheme, and good taste,
  the result has proven to be useful as well.

  Despite rpx veneration of ratpoison look, feel, and
  internal design, there have been some unavoidable
  concessions to some of the more hairy parts of Xlib (the
  reimplementation of which is shared somewhat uneasily by
  rpx and ttn-do).  These are listed in the manual.

NEWS for 1.2 (2020-10-09):

  - configure requires 32-bit system

    The configure script errors out if the system is not 32-bit.
    This is hopefully a temporary measure until we manage to bring
    all the 32/64 easings from the ttn-do X Protocol modules to RPX.
    (That said, it might take a while; don't hold your breath.)

  - bugfix in ‘undefinekey’ command

    Using this command would crash RPX.  This was due to a ‘let’
    binding syntax error (shakes head :-D), and is now fixed.

  - CLI no longer accepts multiple ‘--command’ args

    This is due to a limitation in Official Guile command-line
    options handling, which does not (yet?) support the Unofficial
    Guile's ‘merge-multiple?’ in ‘(ice-9 getopt-long)’.

  - many portability tweaks for Guile 2.x

    Guile 2.x deprecates a lot of stuff (sigh).

  - bootstrap/maintenance tools
