I don't know nuffin about no plan, but:

Have you looked at XCB?  It's a new X protocol binding in which the
source code is M4 macros and the C is mechanically generated.  It
occurs to me that if the authors of XCB are going to track future X
developments, it might be less work for CL users to subvert their M4
into generating CL code automatically than it would be to keep adding
stuff to CLX by hand.

http://bart.cs.pdx.edu/xcb/ has pointers to their usenix paper and to
a cvs repo where you can look at the code itself.
