I've added some preliminary code to do this. You can use your
ratpoison binary to send commands to stumpwm. Right now stumpwm only
accepts commands, but that can easily be worked around since there's
an eval command.

The return value is always "TODO" because i haven't finished it. If
it'd work better if nothing was printed you can change it in
core.lisp.

So as an example:

boot stumpwm
open a shell
ratpoison -c "echo foo"

you should see the message "foo".
