libaosd with Xinerama and More

I was using libaosd for a simple OSD style notification for years. Then lately I though I would fix some issues / add missing features.

Source/Documentation
AUR

Summary of changes (you will find more detailed description and how I actually use it by following above link).

libaosd / libaosd-text:

    Xinerama support added
    renders Pango color markup when configured for full foreground opacity

aosd_cat:

    shows input immediately by default (see -W option for old behavior)
    cycles window on receiving line containing ^G as single character
    new options added (see summary below)

aosd_cat new options:

-O, --output=-1         Sets the Xinerama output (0-N), -1 for whole X screen.
-A, --alignment=0       Sets the text alignment (0=left, 1=center, 2=right).
-W, --wait              Wait until the display is clear.
-k, --keep-reading      Reopen input on EOF (doesn't have any effect when reading from stdin).
-m, --markup            Enable Pango markup language.
-T, --input-timeout=0   Sets the input timeout (in seconds).
