I would love to know if it was, but I've never seen it.   I would be even
happier if it was open sourced so we could update it for X11R7.

I'm not aware of Digital Press having any program similar to O'Reilly's,
but the three Digital Press X books I had other than the X server book
seem to just be printed copies of the standard specs from X.Org and not 
containing any original material.   (Unfortunately, my copies were
borrowed and not returned, so I can't easily verify that.)
