Xft support. No anti-alias on fonts.

To do this:

1. ./configure
2. edit src/Makefile
3. Locate openbox_LDFLAGS and append `xft-config --libs`
4. Locate CXXFLAGS and append `xft-config --cflags`
5. edit config.h
6. Locate /* Enable support of the Xft extension */
7. change the line below that one to #define XFT 1
8. Run make


Note that in step 3 & 4 is is note the back-quote not the ' one.

Also note that xlsfonts in the util directory will fail. This does not 
matter I think.
