Branch: pkgsrc-2009Q2, Version: 1.3, Package name: libxcb-1.3, Maintainer: reed

The libxcb package provides a replacement for the current Xlib interface.
Some of its advantages include:
- 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.
