As long as ./configure includes the proper version check, it truly
doesn't matter if the version numbers match.  In general, we shouldn't
expect them to; xcb-proto changes when the XML protocol descriptions
change, while libxcb changes only if the libxcb core changes or there's
an entirely new extension library.


I think the issues Jamey mentioned with the synchronization fun and
excitement are the only ones gating the release.
