There is a bit too much copy&paste in it for my taste (although obscured
by whitespace changes: the tab-width should be 8, the indent stay 2).

I wonder if it wouldn't be more feasible to modify UM/state.c to optionally
act as a cluster. Wouldn't this be just some extra code in state_move_handle
and state_draw ?
