Yes, you remember correctly. Thanks for the reminder.

I've gone ahead and merged your tree, on the basis that Bart promised we
would[1].

I fixed up xcb_in.c to include sys/socket.h on non-windows even when
USE_POLL is defined, otherwise recv is used without being declared.

For future reference, there are a few things that could be done better
next time:
 - The big initial commit should (probably) have been split up into
digestible chunks to make it easier to review.
 - The later commits to fixup typos and such should have been "squashed"
into the commit that they fix (see "git rebase -i").
 - Commit messages should be word-wrapped at 72-ish characters.
 - Signed-off-by lines are a good idea. We haven't been picky about
them, but we're trying to use them more now.

Thanks for working on this.
