Looking at awesome/draw.c's draw_find_visual() function, the code is
similar in spirit but quite different in implementation.  And given that
the find_visual() is so short compared with the rest of the program, I
doubt its licensing matters too much here.

So, I'll use the MIT license from blur.c for this for consistency.  Feel
free to change.
