This repository contains scripts and configuration files for various Unix
programs. I tried hard to maintain universality: it should work anywhere (Arch
Linux, FreeBSD...), with whichever version of the programs. In the worst case,
very few modifications will be necessary.

Most interesting parts include advanced configuration for Awesome, Emacs, Mutt,
ranger, Zsh and some shell scripts.

I use embedded IMAP and SMTP services which need appropriate compilation
options. Embedded IMAP does not need to store e-mails locally. To speed-up
e-mail queries, I cache them on disk. When the disk usage limit is reached, the
older cached e-mails are erased until the cache shrink below the limit again.

## Known issues
* All scripts take a strong point at being POSIX. However, there is no POSIX way
(at least to my knowledge) to execute a shell function on the result of a
'find'. Neither 'find' nor 'xargs' can execute shell functions. One solution
to this would be to call an external script, but then we lose all global
variables. For now we assume no input file has newline, which is quite a
strong assumption and not safe at all.
