[Xcb] Hello xcblist.

[Robert G. Jakabosky]

Hello,

This is also my first post to this mailling list.  Since the topic of bindings 
generators has been raised.  I would like to point out the port I did of the 
Python based C bindings generator to Lua code [1].  I had planed on then 
creating a Lua bindings generator with it, but haven't had the time to do so.  
The only reason I did the port is that I don't like Python's syntax.

It can generator C bindings that perfectly matched the C bindings generated by 
the official Python generator, at least at the time it was written (I think 
that was release 1.1 or 1.2 xcb-proto).

Also note that is was basically a one-to-one convertion of Python code to Lua 
code, at least as close to one-to-one as those two languages allowed.

I might finish the Lua bindings generation at some point when I have time.
