Patch updating x11-wm/swm to 1.3.5

I was looking at the list of out-dated ports without a maintainer[1] and I
found x11-wm/swm.

I managed to update it to update it to version 1.3.5. Here's the changelog:

> v1.3.5:
> * changed all swm stuff to sWM to avoid confusion with old swm...
> * added doxygen developer documentation
> * removed a bug that caused strange focus behaviour
> * exposeHandler was changed to react faster in debug mode
> * added extra handling check in keyEventHandler to improve stability & speed
> * added new "first-time" wizzard and sWM runtime configuration
> * changed Makefile based installation

I simplified the Makefile as well.

The problem is that neither the current version nor the new 1.3.5 is working on
my laptop. The X session starts but there's only black screen and no errors as
fair as I can tell. feh, however, successfully sets a background wallpaper.

The software is not maintained since 2004.[2] Shouldn't we remove it from the
tree?

I'm attaching the patch just in case.
