Hm, if we do it in steps maybe that's an opportunity to avoid the
breakage as well! Something like:
* rewrite the wctl parser to properly handle argument lists,
* make it *ignore* the -label NAME parameter,
* wait for a while and shame people into sysupdate,
* land the label-related window(1) changes.
This way when the new window(1) is eventually pulled it will break
label-setting until a new rio is compiled and started, but everything
will otherwise continue working, which is much less of a breakage than
refusing to spawn windows entirely.
