Looks good! I see some of other changes worth mentioning:
* a new package and library libxcb-xlib
* XML descriptions are now installed in ($datadir), typically share/xcb
* headers are now installed in include/xcb instead of include/X11/XCB
* extension XML and headers are now installed directly in xcb, not  
xcb/extensions

(Question: does 'make install' remove the files from the obsolete  
locations?)

I updated the DevelopersGuide wiki page for the split repositories.  
Please review.

What is the plan for grafting the CVS history onto the split  
repositories?
