Devin J. Pohly b372d4b55e pipe status info into -s command ...

Unlike with X window managers, the display socket in Wayland isn't set
up prior to starting the compositor.  Because of this, you can't pipe
the compositor's output directly into a program which needs access to
$WAYLAND_DISPLAY, which is a typical setup for this purpose.  Existing
scripts have been forced to create a pipe/FIFO or a temporary file as an
intermediary.

Instead, send the status info directly to stdin of the -s command, which
*does* have access to $WAYLAND_DISPLAY.

Fixes #103.
