# script to migrate an old config file (i3 < 4.0) to the new format (>= 4.0)
# this script only uses modules which come with perl 5.10
#
# reads an i3 v3 config from stdin and spits out a v4 config on stdout
# exit codes:
#     0 = the input was a v3 config
#     1 = the input was already a v4 config
#         (the config is printed to stdout nevertheless)
