no. it will never be an external separate project ultimately. i am not going to
bother with packaging something temporary. it doesnt even manage files yet. it
just displays - i just got metadata working so it can save things like x,y per
file in a dir (it saves it to .efm/ dir in a target dir - if you can write,
otherwise uses ~/.e/e/... to store overlayed metadata).

you can now move icons around in custom mode and store the x,y for them and it
gets saved, loaded and modified as u dnd icons around - including multi-select
icon dnd. but it wont move files between dirs or copy them etc.

the metadata system is designed to store an arbitrary amount of metadata per
file in a dir (and per dir in a dir). for now x,y is there but will later add
size too an other things. it's designed so the metadata follows files around if
you e.g. tar or zip up a dir etc.

but i'm just to there. i now have to implement auto-positioning of icons in
custom x,y position mode when they dont have a saved position yet.
