We've got a composite wrapper in HEAD now.  Compiling of Composite on
the server is disabled by default for the moment because the build
breaks with Xprt, and I haven't figured out why yet.

I'm going to stall on fixing the composite wrapper for a little while to
work on other issues.  I'd like to pull the new trapezoids in still.  I
also need to get my XAA diff in, but I'm getting a server crash on my
Radeon (but not a SiS) even without the patch, so I'm not sure if I
should go mucking about in there while things are broken (assuming a
commit to ati was originally at fault).  What are thoughts on the XAA
hook?
