The util package is nice and I use it lots. I think it should be
integral part of xcb since it provides a lot of functions which
everyone needs (e.g. the icccm helpers).
Vincent Torri provided a partial patch for the renaming of the api.
Did somebody complete this already? Otherwise I could take this.

I would also like to change the naming in util a little: Now there
is "AllocSizeHints" which would convert to "alloc_size_hints". I
would like to add the additional namespace "xcb_util_".
That would allow me to see where the function originates, which helps
a lot in debugging and reading code. It could also prevent name
clashes (Althout they seem very unlikely for these functions).
