I started forking openbox (LXopenbox)

Hi everyone.

The main difference is a smaller amount RAM both in simple and in use, much lower CPU requirements since I analyzed cache misses and used scalar SIMD loop optimizations. Obviously I left vanilla code for older systems that don't have SSE2. According to my tests, first release or beta has half RAM and CPU consumption, I watched 'qps' RSS-SHARE and CPU TIME (since start system).

Help me build ready-made packages for release, my last commit is going to be successful on Debian Sid (Testing-Debian 13). Ubuntu latest Github Action fails. I hope that people will help with the distribution of packages in linux distributions.

Welcome to test and compile source code.

Repo: https://github.com/LXunix/lxopenbox

I would like to migrate Autotools to Cmake or regular Makefile, as I do not have the skill to fix configure. Autocmake (https://github.com/fritzone/autocmake) utility does not convert correctly.

I warned openbox Mikachu maintainer, perhaps he will answer this case. Because community would not like to support two separate packages openbox and lxopenbox in Linux distributions.
