Hello, All!
Can anyone check these spec-files for consistency?
Rxvt-Unicode:
--------------------------
Rxvt-unicode.
rxvt-unicode is a clone of the well known terminal emulator rxvt.
It's main features (many of them unique) over rxvt are:
* Stores text in Unicode (either UCS-2 or UCS-4).
* Uses locale-correct input, output and width: as long as your system
supports the locale, rxvt-unicode will display correctly.
* Daemon mode: one daemon can open multiple windows on multiple
displays, which improves memory usage and startup time considerably.
* Crash-free. At least I try, but rxvt-unicode certainly crashes much
less often than rxvt and it's many clones, and reproducible bugs get fixed
immediately.
* Completely flicker-free.
* Full combining character support (unlike xterm :).
* Multiple fonts supported at the same time: No need to choose between
nice japanese and ugly latin, or no japanese and nice latin characters :).
* Supports Xft and core fonts in any combination.
* Can easily be embedded into other applications.
* All documentation accessible through manpages.
* Locale-independent XIM support.
* Many small improvements, such as improved and correct terminfo,
improved secondary screen modes, italic and bold font support, tinting and
shading.

--------------------------
--------------------------
Evilwm.
A minimalist window manager for the X Window System.
'Minimalist' here doesn't mean it's too bare to be usable - it just means
it omits a lot of the stuff that make other window managers unusable. Here
is a list of features:
* No window decorations apart from a simple 1 pixel border.
* No icons.
* Good keyboard control, including repositioning and maximise toggles.
* Solid window drags (compile time option - may be slow on old
machines).
* Snap-to-border support (command line option).
* Virtual desktops (compile time option).
* Small binary size (even with everything turned on).
