[STUMP] Style question: FFI vs. CLI

[Duncan Bayne]

Guys,

I have a style question, being new to CL and StumpWM: should I be
using FFI to invoke the XRandR libraries, or should I be shelling out
to the xrandr CLI tool and parsing the output?

My (strong) gut feel is that it'd be better to use the XRandR
libraries ... but playing devil's advocate there's already a perfectly
workable CLI tool for XRandR, and it seems pretty easy to invoke such
things & parse the output (see e.g.
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1851948).

Thoughts?
