Yep, yet another lib :) Right now, its just a convenience library (for
me mainly). I have uses for it. Other developers wanted to see it also,
so I put it in CVS. (Part of the reason why its only in SPLIT, not
HEAD). Right now, there is only minimal functionality, but more will be
added (see the TODO). The epplet API will probably be similar also.
(Eprog may turn into the epplet lib, who knows.)

I am working on various little eprogs at the moment, and wanted to split
out the window creatuin / shaping functionality. I wanted an easy way to
write little skinnable apps (a whole suite of em), hence eprog.

well, frankly I used JAM because I really don't feel like dealing with
auto*. They are too much of a pain to build such a small project. JAM is
very clean and quick.
