Roberto E. Vargas Caballero b9d5fec4f2 Add xmalloc and xrealloc wrappers 
If malloc  or realloc fail they return NULL. Theorically this condition
should be tested in the code, but it's a strange condition today (basically
if this is hapenning thenyou have a big problem), and even Linux never returns
NULL in the default configuration (only if the process don't have room in
the space address, something a bit impossible in the case of st). But stis
enough small for being executed in low resources computers where this can be
a real problem. So the easy way is creating a wrappers function for them and
call to die in case of error.

st - simple terminal
--------------------
st is a simple virtual terminal emulator for X which sucks less.


Requirements
------------
In order to build st you need the Xlib header files.


Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (st is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install st (if
necessary as root):

    make clean install


Running st
----------
If you don't install st, define TNAME to "xterm" in config.h or make sure to at
least compile st terminfo entry with the following command:

    tic -s st.info

It should print the path of the compiled terminfo entry. You can
safely remove it if you don't plan to use st anymore.
See the man page for additional details.
