That's awesome, Travis! Thank you!

To answer one of the questions you posed in the guide so far, "You
can't." The question was "How do you get a Display object given an
XCBConnection object?" Any function that takes only an XCBConnection has
to be a pure XCB function, and so do all the things it calls. (I'm lying
a little bit, in the sense that you could hack around it with a global
hashtable or something. But I certainly wouldn't recommend it.)

I just put my slides up in the Publications section, from my talk two
weeks ago. Slide 20 has my recommended porting strategy; would you mind
looking it over?

Thanks again, Travis,
