So, what is your schedule?  I hadn't heard anything about you guys
actually actively pushing the Composite bits into X.Org, and I had heard
that Keith had tried to get the bits from you in the past and failed,
which was why I've been working on it myself.  I'd like to get Composite
in the tree soon so we can start finding any issues with it, and so I
can get to work on XAA issues that need resolving with respect to
Render.  Using xcompmgr will help increase the variety of my Render
usage a lot, for finding hidden bugs.

All I would need is the wrapper.  I'm happy to do merging of other bits
necessary if it would take additional time for you to dig them out of
your tree.
