-============
-
-libxcb provides an interface to the X Window System protocol, which
-replaces the current Xlib interface. It has several advantages over
-Xlib, including:
-- size: small, simple library, and lower memory footprint
-- latency hiding: batch several requests and wait for the replies later
-- direct protocol access: interface and protocol correspond exactly
-- proven thread support: transparently access XCB from multiple threads
-- easy extension implementation: interfaces auto-generated from XML-XCB
-
-Xlib can also use XCB as a transport layer, allowing software to make
-requests and receive responses with both, which eases porting to XCB.
-However, client programs, libraries, and toolkits will gain the most
-benefit from a native XCB port.

-Please report any issues you find to the freedesktop.org bug tracker,
-at:

-Discussion about XCB occurs on the XCB mailing list:

-You can obtain the latest development versions of XCB using GIT.
