Right now, I'm working on merging the XKB GSoC work. That will be moot
once I get the merge finished.

git://anongit.freedesktop.org/~peterh/libxcb
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~peterh/libxcb/

I still have to decide what to do about automatically calling
unserialize with the same pointer. At the very least, memcpy needs to be
replaced by memmove, but I suspect it'll still be unsafe. I'll probably
end up returning a void * and letting the caller deal with it.

Definitely separate patches. If you're willing to wait a couple of days,
patches on top of the GSoC XKB merge would be preferred, as it changes
c_client.py quite a bit.

Thanks for reminding us.
