xcb_button_index and xcb_host_mode were my suggestions.

I agree.

At first I was against this, but I notice that cairo follows this  
convention as well.

Agreed. Josh should look at this; I think we should be able to handle  
it programatically.

Also XIDRange to xid_range instead of xidrange.

I suggest converting BYTE to uint8_t, and possibly do the same for BOOL.

Do we actually need <type name="XID" newname="xid" />? I don't see  
any XID types remaining in the protocol files. I think XID was an  
Xlib client-only type that we got rid of in XCB.

Symbols mentioned in the comments also need to be converted.

In xcb_in.c, XCBReply and XCBError should be changed to XCB_REPLY and  
XCB_ERROR. Possibly move them to xcbint.h.

The exported symbols in xcbxlib.c should also be converted, and  
libX11/src/xcl/*.c should be adapted to the new names.

What does everyone else think about switching the prefix from "xcb_"  
to simply "x_" as Bernardo suggested?
