Your footnotes seem to have gone missing.

I'm not a huge fan of seeing the cvt code duplicated yet again. Seems
like we should just add this to RANDR already. Also not a huge fan of
some of the extremely long lines, but maybe I'm just stuck in an 80
column mindset.

Can you point me in the direction of what provides the new pkgconfig
modules mentioned? If this is going to land I'm going to want to be
able to build it.
