This is something like XMonad. XMonad, the code, is really just a
library for writing your own window manager. A default is provided and a
tool to manage the building of the actual window manager executable is
offered. Whether upstream will accept such a tool is the question. If
not, it can probably be maintained in a separate repository (dwm-manager
which Requires: dwm-devel, dwm Requires: dwm-manager to get
out-of-the-box support).
We do something similar for uzbl which is also in a similar boat (though
without the compilation step).
uzbl -> default settings (uzbl-tabbed and uzbl-defaults)
uzbl-core -> main program
uzbl-browser -> default tools to get a basic browser (what I use
with custom configuration)
uzbl-tabbed -> tabbed browsing
uzbl-defaults -> default configuration and scripts (Requires: on
tools used go here)
Hope this helps.
