So awful.client tries to use awful.client and awful.screen by these names.
However, they aren't available this way. awful.client would be just "client"
inside of the module and awful.screen needs a 'local screen =
require("awful.screen")' at the beginning of the file.

However, this doesn't work:

lib/awful/screen.lua:15: loop or previous error loading module 'awful.client'

We now have a cyclic dependency between awful.screen and awful.client. This is
bad, bad, bad, bad.

If no one has any good suggestions on this, I will have to revert Abdó's commits
to fix this. Which isn't exactly good either...

@Abdó: Ideas? How could those functions be done differently? :-(

@Stefan: The best thing you can do right now is to keep using an older version.
For example "git checkout 5701c473d4e1c91e29be92594b237bcc6dbbea8a" should give
you a working version.

Cheers,
Uli
