IIRC, the only proto package with xlib headers left was videoproto and there
is a bit of weirdness in the kbproto package. With both I gave up to protect
my sanity.

At some magical point in the future, I guess we should bump XTEST to cater
for XI2 events. There are also requests for XEvIE which would likely need a
bump, and possibly even RECORD updates for XI2 (not sure on this).
The point is that the chance of them being developed on isn't too remote,
all it needs is some bored student with a project to finish.
