Library major version bumps happen, and they're not that bad to deal
with, just mildly annoying. FreeType in particularly is really good at
breaking backwards compatibility, but X manages to depend on it and deal.

What I'm getting out of this discussion is that we can release Xlib/XCB if:

- The deprecated function(s) get(s) removed
- The 32-bit wrap gets fixed, and you push out a 0.9.1.

Thanks,
Donnie
