I think the best thing to focus on at the moment would be to fully
review your GLX and RandR implementations and get them into the CVS
repository.  Your RandR implemenation looks very good, though I haven't
 yet compared it in detail to the RandR spec.  Your GLX implementation
looks good as well, but there are a few minor issues that need to be
dealt with, such as the missing lists on several requests/replies
(Render and RenderLarge at a minimum, though there may be others).  I'd
love to see your excellent work become part of XCB as soon as it can.

After that, I would suggest porting the "xrandr" utility as a test
program for RandR; we could commit this to the xcb-demo module when
done.  Porting Mesa would be a much larger task; not necessarily *hard*,
but it would take a while.  In both cases, a direct translation from
Xlib calls to XCB calls should theoretically be sufficient.  You may
want to try building them on top of the XCB-based Xlib first, so that
you can port a little at a time rather than all at once.
