Shaped Windows

Wize has builtin support for shaped windows on X11 and Windows. This creates a new command with the following extern:

  extern ::tk::shaped {window {image {}}} {} I

When called with an image, it sets the window shape from the transparent areas of image.

To restore the window back to rectangular, call it without animage.

See the demo below.
