[Xcb] xcb-xinput -- raw motion events

[Ingo Bürk]

Hi Chris,

thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, this would require anyone using
my project to use the git version as well :(
Maybe I just have to fall back to using Core Protocol for my event loop
and abstract my handlers from XLib/XCB. That should hopefully work.
