A short summary: A port of tvtwm is basically done if one has a look at the file lex.l of twm from the MIT/XFree86-2.0. All olvwm ports seem to be some more or less sorts of "hacks" mostly due to the usage of get/setlocale et al. in olvwm - i did not try further. Almost all replies mentioned a window manager i had not heard of until then - fvwm. So i got myself fvwm 1.05 and it compiled and ran out of the box ! Looks really nice !
