So i talked with Jordan a bit, and he made several more changes to
xdotool which look really nice.  The compilation warning messages are
cleaned up upstream now, there are better failure checks within
xdotool itself, a stronger testsuite, and Jordan adopted the man page,
which is pretty great.

I added perl as a build-dep for pod2man, since Jordan prefers to
maintain the man page in pod format.  And i made a couple minor
adjustments to the upstream Makefile (to avoid installing into
/usr/local), but otherwise the package is built from the raw upstream
source.

My packaging is available from the cmrg apt repo:

 deb http://cmrg.fifthhorseman.net/debian unstable xdotool
 deb-src http://cmrg.fifthhorseman.net/debian unstable xdotool

And it should be cleanly buildable with svn-buildpackage if you have
the upstream source already:

 svn co http://cmrg.fifthhorseman.net/svn/tags/xdotool/20080606-1 xdotool-20080606-1
 cd xdotool-20080606-1
 svn-buildpackage

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or changes.  Thanks for
considering sponsorship for this package.
