Rogue mode can't handle usernames with dots in them #62

If the username have dots in it, then rogue mode doesn't work (can't find the window).

With a server running, when a user with . in the username (e.g. john.smith) issues wemux rogue, we get the following message:

Can't find window wemux-john

(note how there's no .smith in the window name). A window named john.smith gets created, but wemux can't find it, cause it's only searching for the text before the .

I hacked the following change in /usr/bin/wemux (added the second line to replace . with _ in the username):

...
username=`whoami`
username="${username}//./_"
...

and added the corresponding usernames (with _ replacing .) to host_list in /etc/wemux.conf and we could finally get rogue mode to work (pretty nice feature!).

Of course, the hack I present is not a real solution. Ideally, the usernames in /etc/wemux.conf are the real unix usernames. But my bash knowledge is not enough to propose a real patch.
