Great, thanks!

I don't think copying those constants is a release-critical task.
XCB-based apps and libraries can use X.h for as long as they want to. As
we make more constants available and new releases of XCB spread, more
people can drop X.h dependencies. This plan seems harmless.

That said, it'd be better to release with all the constants available.

That would be awesome. Are you volunteering? :-)

A nice selection of ports from the xorg/app CVS module would lead to
some useful tools without too much work.
