Gah.

You are right to point out that the recent change away from
enums broke things horribly.  As things currently stand, the
only reasonable choice to get xcb_image working again is to
change all the former enum types to uint32_t as you did, and
then to fix the Python code generator to emit #defines
instead of static const ints for the constants.

Attached is a patch that does these things.  However, I'm
not going to commit it without some discussion here.

I'm no longer convinced that we took the right road by
getting rid of the enums.  They were mostly helpful, and I
hate losing them in xcb_image.  Could someone please explain
to me again why the enums needed to die?
