It's not easy or pretty, but it can be done.  Xnest is probably the
simplest example, hw/xnest/Xnest.h has some boilerplate for renaming
types appropriately.  DMX has a more complicated version of the same
thing.

The other option is to strictly segregate the code the way pre-xcb-port
Xephyr did, where all the xlib calls are in one file and the server
interface in another, and you define your own types to pass stuff back
and forth.
