You're the only person who has ever mentioned it to me, and Google
considers your post announcing xcb_des.c to be one of the top
authorities on XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1. :-) I haven't seen any evidence that
it's worth spending any developer time on right now.

When we discovered that it wasn't clear whether we could ship a DES
implementation from inside the US, I moved xcb_des.[ch],v out of the CVS
repository and into my home directory on freedesktop.org. Sometime in
the intervening 2.5 years, those files disappeared. fd.o admins haven't
made any efforts to preserve user files. :-/

I would like to discourage you from recreating those files right now
though. As I say, I don't think it's worth spending any time on at the
moment, and people who want this are taken care of.

Nope.

I have this theory... :-)
