Rather than using an xcb_util_ prefix, and updating and releasing it as one
package, I think we need to split out individual libraries from xcb-util and
version and release them separately.  For example, we really need to put out a
release of libxcb-renderutil, whereas libxcb-wm may not necessarily become
suitable for release anytime soon.
