The protocols are independent packages which can be removed/uninstalled
at any time. I simply go to proto/randrproto and "make uninstall". Then
evdev fails to compile. Same issue with xext and kbproto. The xf86.h
file is "for video driver" according to it's own comment.

I would love for this dependency not to exist. I originally thought it
did not.
