It is legal to make whatever changes you like. Whether they'd be
accepted by XFree86 or X.Org is a completely separate issue. Adding
extension-specific fields to WindowOptRec probably wouldn't be accepted
by XFree86 unless there was a very good reason for doing it that way.
Could you do what you need with a Window private
(AllocateWindowPrivateIndex), or does it really need to be in
WindowOptRec? If it really does, I'd probably add a mechanism for
adding privates to it, or add a WindowRec* field to WindowOptRec
so that you could always access the WindowRec's privates from a
WindowOptRec (this assumes that a WindowOptRec is associated with
only one WindowRec, and I don't know if that's the case).
