As a native English speaker and someone who prides themselves on
decent spelling, it's sad that I often mess this up. I'll fix that up.

I probably didn't write that correctly. xcb-util isn't a dependency of
libxcb. It depends on libxcb and adds a couple more xcb modules. In
particular, cairo needs libxcb-renderutil. I'm not sure how this
differs from libxcb-render, which comes with libxcb, but that's what
cairo wants.
