[Xcb] Lua binding for XCB

[Barton C Massey]

Very cool!  Thanks much for letting us know about it!

Our Python bits haven't quite been made public yet.  Sorry
about that---it might have made your task easier.  XSLT was
making everyone's head hurt.

Please keep us updated on what you're using it for and how
it goes!
