statuscmd patch for clickable modules

 # signalling changes
 For example, the audio module has the update signal 10 by default.
 Thus, running `pkill -RTMIN+10 dwmblocks` will update it.
+# clickable modules
+Like i3blocks, this build allows you to build in additional actions into your scripts in response to click events.
+See the above linked scripts for examples of this using the `$BLOCK_BUTTON` variable.
+
+For this feature to work, you need the appropriate patch in dwm as well. See [here](https://gist.github.com/danbyl/54f7c1d57fc6507242a95b71c3d8fdea).
+Credit for those patches goes to Daniel Bylinka (daniel.bylinka@gmail.com).
