Looks like comments on the xproto package have tapered off; I'll give
everyone another chance, but then I'll go ahead and create a new
xorg-level 'xproto' repository with the current bits.
I have a few outstanding questions:
1) Right now we have a bunch of COPYING files in each proto subdirectory
and there is no top-level COPYING. Unfortunately each proto is under a
slightly different license, so consolidating them may have to be along
the lines of xserver/COPYING.
2) Unless EvIE is truly returning for 1.9, I don't think that evieproto
should be included. We can always merge it in later (can't we?) but
merging it in now just to split it out again later this year will wreak
havoc with users and distributors.
In the meantime:
The following changes since commit d25b7205c7e867cb6fbb1181ce053765ecf752b8:

Eric had an additional suggestion this afternoon -- would it be crazy to
consider merging util/macros and/or util/modular into this package at
some point? Again, with the goal of making it easier to build the server
or drivers, this would further reduce the potential necessary upstream
bits.
Rehashing from IRC:
util/modular certainly not; nothing there is installed on the system or
necessary for distros.
util/macros IMO also not; there have been more releases of macros then
protos, so merging in macros would mean a longer configure run and
installation of dozens of headers every time we add to or fix macros.
There are also a very few packages which don't require even xproto, so
this would change distros' deptrees slightly. Also, from the technical
POV, trying to *use* macros at the same time you're building it may be
difficult.
