Actually, I don't know if I will do a talk or not. What afraids me is 
doing one in english :)

what is interesting with evas - ecore : you compile ecore with xcb 
support, you do minor changes to ewl (the toolkit) and hop, you have a 
toolkit that uses xcb :) There are still some problems with ecore-xcb, but 
not much.

afaik, I've already added the doc to xcb.h, unless someone removed it.

It's my job : I'll add doc comments in sync.xml and Thomas will try to 
adapt his python parser to read the documentation for that file. It was 
the plan, afaik.
