xcb/proto (where the xml files live) contains a python library to help
you write your own bindings generator. You shouldn't need to modify
that library (in theory, at least). xcb/libxcb contains c_client.py,
which is the one you'd modify to get java_client.py:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xcb/libxcb/tree/src/c_client.py

All that assumes that python is your favourite language. I found it
easier to start over in perl using XML::Twig:

; YMMV.
