[Xcb] Install an additional file

Hello,
I don't want to move to my branch to far away from something that can
be included into the main tree later, so I though I'd ask:
There is a python file "protocol_builder.py" which fills out the
missing pieces from the xcb files:
It does <import></import>, resolves type-references
like "xproto:PIXMAP", calculates the c names like "setup_request"
from "SetupRequest" and some other things.
This file is very useful for the python bindings and might also be
useful for other things like a protocol tracer, other bindings (I've
wrapped the core in lua, but the protocoll is still missing).
Eventually I would need it to do the server side bindings, if they are
possible at all.
Now the question: Can I install this file to "PREFIX/share/xcb"? It
could then be queried like
$($PKG_CONFIG --variable=prefix)/share/xcb/
There already is a PREFIX/share/xcb directory for the protocol-xml
files, so it would not clutter the file system unecessarily.
Tom
