+Similar to [dwm-flexipatch](https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch) this dmenu 5.2 (e42c036,
+2022-10-26) project has a different take on patching. It uses preprocessor directives to decide
 whether or not to include a patch during build time. Essentially this means that this build, for
 better or worse, contains both the patched _and_ the original code. The aim being that you can
 select which patches to include and the build will contain that code and nothing more.
