[STUMP] Moving xinerama head detection to the CL side

Hi Stumpwers,

I intend to move the head detection using xinerama (and add xrandr later)
using CL instead of relying of matching with regular expressions the output
of xpdyinfo[0]. Because I don't have two monitors I've only been able to
test the change using Xephyr. I would appreciate it if anyone that uses
more than one monitor could test this patch before merging. For those of
you who don't have github you can use the link labeled [1] and apply the
patch using git apply <patch>.

Let me know if you run into any errors

Cheers,
Javier Olaechea

1. It does work OK for my basic two-headed setup.

2. The patch seems to ignore the screen argument for head enumeration.
Does this mean that multiple-X-screens (:0.0 and :0.1) configurations
are not supported now? Is this change intentional?
