+About libxcb
+============
+
+libxcb provides an interface to the X Window System protocol, slated to
+replace the current Xlib interface. It has several advantages over
+Xlib, including:
+- size: small library and lower memory footprint
+- latency hiding: batch several requests and wait for the replies later
+- direct protocol access: one-to-one mapping between interface and protocol
+- proven thread support: transparently access XCB from multiple threads
+- easy extension implementation: interfaces auto-generated from XML-XCB
+
+Xlib can also use XCB as a transport layer, allowing software to make
+requests and receive responses with both, which eases porting to XCB.
+However, client programs, libraries, and toolkits will gain the most
+benefit from a native XCB port.
+
+
